Suicidal Waders

The irrationality of the human psyche, sadomasochism and suicide are leitmotifs of this film. Documentary footage of marching pioneers, airplanes and pilots provided an unexpected counterpoint to the main action of the film. The combination of documentary footage, poetic narration and the stark asceticism of northern nature enhance the atmosphere of The Suicidal waders and give the self-destructive heroes a heroic and noble image.
