Memory loss and fate in the Asya Voloshina’s Patients
Asya Voloshina’s Patients are based on illnesses described by the British neurologist Oliver Sacks and on elements of the artistic world of the Spanish director Luis Buñuel. Combining scientific and artistic reflection, Voloshina creates his own narrative of God, freedom, fate, personality and creativity.
The purpose of this article is to characterize the phenomenon of memory loss by the characters in connection with the concept of fate and in the context of the forsake by God.
Memory loss means for the characters a personality loss, which entails a will loss. Thanks to the great creative effort of Masha, contributing to the creation of the last film by Ion, the release of injuries forgotten by the heroes and catharsis become possible. This conclusion is made with reference to the arguments of Nikolai Berdyaev about fate, religion and freedom (according to the book The Divine and the Human).
