Anya (2021) dives deep into the psyche of its titular character, Anya Viktorovna, who once taught Russian literature in a small village. The film is layered, presenting fragments of her inner life — a tapestry of dreams and reflections that often feel surreal. It has this slow, deliberate pacing that lets you really breathe in her emotions, the weight of nostalgia hanging thick in the air. The performances are understated yet powerful, pulling you into Anya's world without overt theatrics. What stands out is how it uses practical effects to enhance the dreamlike sequences, making the viewer question what's real and what's imagined. The atmosphere is haunting, yet there's a quiet beauty in her journey through memory and loss.
