Rolands Kalnins

Born in Latvian Republic on May 9, 1922 — died May 17, 2022 (aged 100)

Rolands Kalniņš (1922-2022) was a Latvian film director. The last and only Latvian cinema aristocrat. Kalniņš possesses an intelligence of the soul. His films are smart, and the passage of time becomes them; forming new contexts reveals previously unread levels of content and subtext.
