Fear death by water

Tini zabutykh predkiv (Shadows of forgotten ancestors)

(1964)

Boy loves girl, boy loses girl, boy goes mad, boy enters loveless marriage, boy regrets and then regrets some more. Don't recall exactly why I had this in my queue, but it turned out to be a stunning visual poem, set in the Carpathians--a simple story told beautifully (and in Ukrainian).
