Leninopad

About This Movie

Leninopad is this fascinating documentary that dives into the aftermath of political upheaval in Ukraine, which is a really poignant subject. The film captures the eeriness of deserted squares where once-mighty statues stood, now being dismantled and cleared. The pacing feels almost meditative at times, allowing you to soak in the somber atmosphere. Jermolaewa's journey is not just about the physical removal of these statues but also about the broader themes of memory, identity, and what happens when symbols of the past are stripped away. Each location feels uniquely charged with history, and the practical effects of these removals are strikingly visual. It’s a compelling watch if you’re into how history shapes our landscape, both physically and emotionally.
