Lovćen

About This Movie

So, Lovćen is this fascinating documentary that dives into a pretty intense moment in Montenegrin history. It captures the demolition of the old chapel where Njegoš was laid to rest. The atmosphere is heavy, really, with a sense of loss that hangs over the whole film. It's shot with a rawness that feels very much of its time, and the pacing is deliberate, almost meditative. You get a sense of the landscape, the architecture, and the cultural weight of what’s happening. It's not just a film about a building; it’s about identity and memory, and how history is preserved or erased. The practical effects—or, well, the real-life events—give it a gritty feel that makes it distinctive in the realm of documentaries.
