There's a beautiful plasticity to Andrey Khrzhanovsky's A Room and a Half, an ode to the exiled poet Joseph Brodsky and his search for lost time. The Russian animator offers a resplendent visual outing as he freewheels through the post-WWII Leningrad/St. Petersburg that shaped and haunted the Russian-American Nobel Laureate (class of '87). The film's framing device is an imagined voyage by an elderly Brodsky (Grigoriy Dityatkovskiy) back to the Motherland and past; while at sea, he warns us that the "linear" is better left to math books, that his "memory is simply a developing film."
