I Don't Love You

I Don't Love You (2012) is a Russian-Estonian documentary you can watch online on iFILM. Directors Pavel Kostomarov and Alexander Rastorguev gave their subject a camera and asked her to use it. Twenty-year-old Vika, living in a small provincial town, recorded her own life — arguments, reunions, quiet mornings, bedroom moments — with Artem and with Zhenya, the two men she cannot quite choose between.

The result sits somewhere between documentary and fiction. The footage is unpolished; the editing gives it a shape that scripted drama rarely achieves. Kostomarov and Rastorguev brought a track record of radical observational filmmaking to this project, and it shows. Stream I Don't Love You (2012) online on iFILM.
