Alive

About This Movie

So, 'Alive' from 2013 is this intriguing piece stemming from the Kabardino-Balkarian State University, crafted under the guidance of Sokurov's workshop. The film really creates a somber, reflective atmosphere, almost meditative in its pacing. It delves deep into themes of existence and identity, which feels quite profound given its academic origins. The performances, while perhaps not polished as mainstream works, carry a raw sincerity that’s quite engaging. You can sense the experimental essence throughout, making it an interesting watch for anyone who enjoys cinema that pushes boundaries. Definitely a unique slice of student filmmaking that leaves you with more questions than answers, which I find pretty fascinating.
