Border

About This Movie

So, 'Border' is quite a unique piece, isn't it? It’s this documentary-drama hybrid that tells the story through the eyes of a buffalo, which is such an odd yet compelling choice. The pacing is reflective, really allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of this small town trying to recover post-Armenian-Azeri conflict. It's not just about the buffalo; it mirrors the distrust in the region, which is palpable. The practical effects are minimal but effective, bringing the farm animals to life in a way that feels authentic. The performances, especially from the animals, feel surprisingly nuanced. You really get a sense of the tension and the longing for connection in a world still struggling to heal. Quite the conversation starter, for sure.
