Director Aivars Freimanis and poet Jānis Peters worked on the screenplay for the film on Krišjānis Barons for many years, creating a sincere story about a great personality, but trying to avoid the traditional glorification of the Father of Dainas. The director wanted to make a film about a true personality, therefore he let loose his creative spirit, and Dear Life is not a “regular” biopic by any means. It surprises with various artistically and professionally challenging methods that attract the audience’s attention. The main characters, Krišjānis and Dārta, are played by two pairs of great actors, but the story is full of unexpected plot twists, merging the characters and events of the first national awakening with elements of the third national awakening that took place at the time when the film was made.

Quality is pretty rough for this one unfortunately and probably won’t be good enough for some people to watch, sorry about that, it’s a very rare TV movie that has never been released on home video so good copies are hard to come by. If I manage to find a better copy I’ll upgrade it. Audio is decent at least. Thanks a lot to mrjoelabs @CG for digging this one out even if it’s not in the best condition, it’s always great to see such obscure and forgotten gems finally surface for people to enjoy.

This is a composite rip I made by combining a copy I found on a streaming service with a higher quality copy from eMule, the eMule rip had an issue at the end probably due to something going wrong with the capture from TV so for the last 7 minutes or so I used the other copy I had which was a bit lower quality. You can also find this one on Youtube.in slightly lower quality. Good documentary.
