With regard to this particular crime one could say: far too short, because the murderer is released after only five years on the grounds that he proved himself to be an exemplary prisoner. Mickevičius doesn’t confine himself to this individual case, though, but raises his film to a more general level: Exemplary Behaviour is almost a meditation about the question whether a final act like murder can be atoned for in a temporal order.
Exemplary Behaviour Pavyzdingas elgesys
Audrius Mickevičius puts the horribly disfigured face of his murdered brother at the start of his film. He’s interested in the question of how someone atones for such an act.
