Landlord

About This Movie

So, 'Landlord' is this intimate documentary that takes us deep into the rural life of Valery Kravtsov, a farmer navigating the rough patches of his small farm. The cinematography captures the desolate beauty of once-thriving arable land now overshadowed by birch forests. There's a rawness to the pacing; it almost mirrors the struggles Valery faces daily. You feel the weight of the bad weather and the stubborn weeds as he gets up at 4 am, an almost poetic routine that highlights the relentless cycle of farming. The film doesn’t rely on flashy effects – it’s all about the authenticity and dedication of one man against nature and technology that’s often at odds with him. It’s got this gritty, real-life feel that stays with you.
