May They Rest in Revolt (Figures of War) is quite the haunting piece. Shot in stark black and white, it’s a real meditation on the immigrant experience, particularly those in Calais. The atmosphere is heavy, almost palpable, with a rawness that cuts through the screen. The pacing is deliberately slow, giving you time to digest each moment - it doesn’t rush you. Themes of struggle and resilience are woven throughout, creating this somber reflection on displacement. The practical effects, though minimal, enhance the stark reality depicted. The performances are understated, but they carry a weight that lingers. It feels like an ode, a visual poem, to those often overlooked. Not your typical documentary - it’s more a visual exploration of hardship and hope.
