Domaren

About This Movie

So, 'Domaren' dives into the gritty world of Boris Malinowski, a character who straddles the line between a boxing judge and a figure in the murky criminal underbelly of Russia and Estonia. The documentary, directed by Fredrik Undevik, is like peeling an onion—layer by layer revealing the complexities of Boris' life over four years. It’s not just about boxing; it’s more a deep, sometimes uncomfortable look at morality and power. The pacing is contemplative, allowing the viewer to absorb the stark realities Boris faces. The atmosphere is heavy, almost oppressive at times, which really suits the subject. The practical effects? Well, reality itself is pretty raw here—there's no glossing over the world these characters inhabit. It’s more about the human experience and the choices we make in dire circumstances.
