Ivan Gergolet v Možu brez krivde koplje goboko po človekovi naravi in moralnih vprašanjih, ki ga zadevajo. Koncizno vodi glavna igralca ter skozi geste, poglede in dotike razpira njuno zapleteno notranje življenje. Hkrati uspe v filmu subtilno razpreti tudi druge pomembne teme, od problematike azbesta, prek zamejske identitete do razrednih razlik. V maniri počasnega filma si vzame čas za razvoj zgodbe, a nas s tem, ko ves čas ostaja skrivnosten in dvoumen, drži v suspenzu. Na ta način ustvari ambivalentno delo, ki nas zaposluje še dolgo po odhodu iz kinodvorane.
Film Mož brez krivde že od prvega kadra eksponira samodestrukcijo slovenske manjšine v zamejstvu, kar, prepleteno z ekološko noto ter močjo in brezbrižnostjo kapitala, rezultira v vsesplošni skupni pogubi. Četudi je dogajanje postavljeno v zamejstvo Italije, lahko problematiko preslikamo na katerokoli od naših manjšin. Temi neskrbi za lasten jezik in kulturo ter podjarmljenosti večini sta dramaturško izvrstno razpeti skozi naracijo in oblikovanje likov, kar je podprto z izjemno tenkočutno estetiko in izpovednimi kadri. Pomnite: prah dihamo – dihamo prah.
Beautiful story told in a very professional way by a talented and sensitive artistic point of view.
