NO-ONE

About This Movie

So, there's this film, 'No-One', from 2017—though the director's name is a bit of a mystery. It’s set against the chaotic backdrop of the 1991 Soviet coup, but the real focus is on the characters and their personal turmoil. The pacing is deliberate, almost slow, which might not be for everyone, but it really builds tension. The atmosphere is thick with dread and uncertainty, mirroring the political landscape. The performances are raw, capturing the desperation and disconnection of people in a crumbling society. You get this sense of hopelessness that lingers long after it ends, and those practical effects? They add a layer of authenticity that just feels right for the time period. It’s a unique take on a historical moment, intertwining personal stories with larger themes of identity and survival.
