Angelus

About This Movie

Angelus delves into a subtle and contemplative narrative anchored by Tanya's everyday life. The film unfolds in a small station town, and you can almost feel the stillness of the air and the weight of history in every scene. Sergei's arrival—just late enough to alter the path of both characters—brings a fresh perspective, as he becomes enveloped in Tanya's haunting church chants, which resonate deeply. The film’s pacing is thoughtfully deliberate, creating an immersive atmosphere that allows viewers to feel the emotional depths of grief and rediscovery. The performances are nuanced, and while the director remains unknown, the craftsmanship in capturing raw human experiences is evident. It’s a work that engages the senses and lingers in thought long after viewing.
