Quote:
Jay Rosenblatt's films have always been serious, but often they have been graced with some kind of humor. In Human Remains, for instance, the world's most fearsome dictators narrate scatological details of their private lives. And in The Smell of Burning Ants, even if the subject was the cauldron of childhood peer pressure, at least the subject matter allowed a kind of reflective distance.
But The Darkness of Day doesn't blink. It refuses to. This is a film that positively bleeds tragedy and sorrow as it meditates on the suicide of a close friend of the director using Rosenblatt's signature found ephemeral footage. The music is precise, the footage evocative, the voice-over unsparing. Another documentary about suicide, Steel's The Bridge (2006), feels positively hopeful next to this.
Not for the depressed. Not for the suicidal. But for those who seek truth, understanding, and a space to grieve.
