So, Closed Valley Man. It's a documentary that dives deep into the lives of the Koryaks, a people facing the grim reality of cultural erosion. I find the tone really somber but also hopeful, which is a tough balance to strike. The pacing can feel slow, almost meditative, allowing you to soak in the landscape and their stories. There's a rawness to the footage, nothing flashy or overly produced—just real moments that connect you to their struggle and resilience. The performances are authentic, you can feel the spirit of the Koryaks in their narratives. It’s not something you'd pop on for a casual watch, but it lingers with you, you know?
