New Rose is this wild blend of comedy and thriller, really. The way it starts with a guy getting humiliated on national TV sets a strange tone, almost darkly satirical. Then he goes off to fight in Ukraine, taking on a role as a drone operator – the juxtaposition of humor and the stark reality of war is unsettling, but intriguing. The pacing shifts from absurd to intense, and you can feel the protagonist's transformation. The practical effects in the war scenes add a gritty realism that just captures your attention. Performances are raw, and there's something compelling about how it tackles themes of violence and societal reintegration. It's a film that sticks with you, for better or worse.
New Rose has seen limited releases, making it a bit of a hidden gem in collector circles. It’s not widely available on physical formats, which adds to its allure for those seeking something off the beaten path. The eclectic mix of genres and its bold narrative choices draw attention, but the real kicker is the way it challenges and plays with the viewer's expectations. A noteworthy piece for those looking to add a layer of depth and quirkiness to their collection.
