The Gift (1995)
The artist sits in old-fashioned, long underwear on a frozen canal in a snowy landscape. He looks at us and seems to want to offer us something, but the hand extended toward us is empty. The only thing that stands out is the winter light falling into his upraised hand—that is the gift, nothing more. And of course, that is also what film is: frozen light.
