Cursed and Forgotten

About This Movie

So, 'Cursed and Forgotten' is quite the piece. You get this raw, almost unfiltered glimpse into Sergei Govorukhin’s psyche as he grapples with the first Chechen war - the atmosphere is heavy, filled with a sense of despair and disillusionment. The documentary doesn’t hold back; it feels personal, almost confessional at times. The pacing is a bit uneven, reflecting the chaos of war itself. There’s a starkness to the visuals, and the practical effects? Well, there’s not much in that regard since it’s documentary style, but the realness of the footage hits harder than any CGI could. It’s a unique exploration of conflict and human experience, driven by a voice that feels both distant and intimate, striking a chord in how war is depicted.
