So, there's this documentary, 'Coronavirus: The Beijing Quarantine Diaries', directed by Anthony Dufour. It really captures the eerie silence of Beijing in 2020, with those empty streets and everyone in masks. The pacing feels almost like a slow burn, letting the viewer soak in the tension and the stark reality of a city under strict quarantine. Dufour uses raw footage that pulls you right into the heart of the experience—checkpoints, the grim state machinery, all of it. The atmosphere is heavy, and you can feel the anxiety of the populace. It’s not just about the virus, but the broader themes of control and isolation. Definitely sets itself apart with its grounded approach to such a surreal time.
