About
A 2004 documentary by Pirjo Honkasalo examines the Second Chechen War through its effect on children in Chechnya and Russia, in three chapters.
The 3 Rooms of Melancholia is a 2004 documentary by Pirjo Honkasalo about the Second Chechen War and its effect on children in Chechnya and Russia. Honkasalo wrote, directed and co-produced the film. It is arranged as three chapters, or rooms, each governed by a single dominant emotion. The conflict is viewed through a military academy for boys in Russia, a town marked by fighting, and a camp for refugee children. Pirkko Saisio provides the narration. Honkasalo uses few words and a pronounced visual approach to explore basic emotional and spiritual states.
