Winterreise is a melancholy road story. Luc Delahaye, photographer and storyteller, travels in winter across the dark landscape of Russia and looks into the private face of the country's moral and social crisis. Invited into the homes and lives of ordinary people, he has created an intimate, moving and revealing portrait of a harsh land, where he finds beauty and sadness in equal measure.
Great photo travelog through the grimmest of 1990s Russia. Lambasted by the Russians back in the day as pointedly slanderous, it is the foreshadowing of where "mysterious Russian soul" would take the world later.
