So, Novoshino is this intriguing documentary that takes you deep into the heart of an abandoned village in the Arkhangelsk region. The story centers around this elderly blind man, whose resilience in the face of isolation and hardship strikes a chord. The pacing is quite contemplative, allowing you to really soak in the atmosphere—the desolation of the village juxtaposed with the man’s unwavering hope is quite compelling. There's something raw about the way the film captures the silence and the natural sounds of the forest, almost like it’s a character in itself. The practical effects are minimal, but it doesn't need much; it’s all about the performance of this man, his belief in goodness despite everything. Really, it’s a quiet meditation on life and endurance.
