So, 'Is This Who We Are?' is a documentary short that dives into the really dire straits of the Soviet service and economy back in the late 80s. The tone feels almost bleak, you know? It’s like a raw snapshot of a system on the verge of collapse. The pacing is steady, almost meditative at times, which lets you soak in the realities being presented. It doesn’t have flashy effects or a polished feel; it’s all about the stark truths laid bare through interviews and footage. It’s distinctive in how it captures the essence of a society grappling with change, while also feeling a bit like a time capsule of that period. Very thought-provoking, for sure.
