Svidetel (2023)
Propaganda at its worst
Awful film, based on lies and used as propaganda tool. No cinematic value other the an a historical document to see how war time states use film as a weapon of mass disinformation.
Luckily Russian cinema peaked many years ago, and now we are left with a poor infantile excuse for a blockbuster victim to hero story. It's simply a grotesque imitation of western cinema, even when using all the tools and knowledge available, but with no ability to understand or relate to them - you get this incredibly pitiful shadow play on a wall.
This is not cinema, rather it's a marketing video reel that should only be shown in history lessons as an example for misuse and abuse of art forms in the pursuit of rewriting history during war time.
Wait for Me (2022)
Amazing film!
A Wonderful film, done very Intimately, but full of love and pain. The story of a young women who has to grow up, made through a sea voyage is a simple but precise metaphor.
Personally I Loved the cinematography and editing, grate original score and a mesmerizing actors.
Especially I would point out the the lead actress (first role ever) who gave a hart breaking performance.
The magical but realistic ending is beautiful in its simplicity, giving the whole journey a bitter sweet taste. For me this made this film a wonderful impression of life, expressing the pains of growth of human beings in general, and of one young women in particular.
