Director Victor Kossakovsky offers a cinematic and wordless interpretation of the Myth of Sisyphus* in TRILLION, the second installment of his “empathy trilogy” that began with GUNDA (2020). Rooted in an unfolding, real-life event in collaboration with the artist known as K49814, the film transcends documentation. Provoking deeply relevant questions about the meaning and purpose of life in a time when all sentient beings face existential threat, Kossakovsky weaves balletic action and a deceptively simple story, gradually situating viewers within a dynamic process of discovery, provoking a sensual contemplation of our interbeing, and deftly revealing the pathos and joy that arises when defiantly putting a shoulder to the wheel of life.
