Narcissus

About This Movie

Narcissus (2022) immerses you in the stark reality of Ukraine's tumultuous landscape on February 24, 2022. The film's tone is heavy, charged with tension as it navigates the fraught relationship between two brothers. The younger sibling, brazenly entrepreneurial, believes there's profit in chaos, while the older brother clings to moral ground. Their heated argument is abruptly cut short as the sound of bombing echoes, shifting the narrative's focus to survival. The cramped setting of a toilet becomes a metaphor for confinement, both physically and emotionally. Performances are raw, capturing desperation and conflicting ideals against the backdrop of war. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of their choices to linger, making this a distinctive voice in contemporary war dramas.
