"We're all sitting in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars."
So easy to concentrate on the obvious, i.e. the kaka, no?

Well, I think that is a somewhat primitive interpretation - Victor Khomenko 17:13:18 07/10/06 (0)
Through a Glass Darkly was not about a kaka, it was about a mental anguish some people suffer.
Same for the Sindrom. One can probanly concentrate on the anti-human aspect of it, but in reality the film is like a work of a psychiatrist - examining the society and its ills.
So in some sense Muratova is indeed looking at start, through the haze of melancholy, indifference, alianation, even outright hatered.
