“Luxembourg, Luxembourg” is Lukich's second feature film. The director's previous film, the comedy “My thoughts are quiet”, won the National Film Award “Zolota Dzyga”, the National Film Critics Award “Kinokol”, and also received a special prize of the jury at the International Film Festival in Karlovy Vary.
The film tells about brothers. – twins who are trying to cope with their own lives, in which their long-lost father suddenly appears.
“During the war, it is difficult to appreciate the importance of a film entering the official program of a class A festival – such as Venice. Yes, this is a small victory – because our culture is recognized. Yes, our flag and our country will be presented at a forum worthy of, for example, the Champions League or the World Cup – only in the cinema. Is it important for society? I am not a social analyst and cannot predict this. We have made this film selflessly for our people and we dream that as many of our people as possible can watch it in our theaters and get the emotion. And the festivals are a good start of this journey of the film, which will eventually live its own life, for which we are very grateful to them. In times of peace, it could make one's head dizzy and make one proud, but now it is, rather, a reason to be heard, at least in the circle of the film industry and film fans around the world. Heard in the language of interesting cinema and current topics of the present and future,” commented the director on the inclusion of the film in the program of the Venice Festival.
This year's Venice Festival will take place from August 31 to September 10.
