Papier-mache

About This Movie

Papier-mache has this raw, unpolished vibe that lingers, you know? It’s not just a drama; it’s almost a reflection of real life, with Ivan Lashin living in this rural setting, grappling with his own circumstances. The pacing can be slow, but it really lets you soak in the atmosphere. The collaboration with director Vitaly Suslin feels quite organic, almost like a documentary at times. Ivan’s performance is particularly striking—there's an authenticity when he plays himself. The film blends the personal with the scripted in a way that feels distinctive, challenging the boundaries of fiction and reality. It’s a nuanced exploration of identity and self-expression, and that makes it stand out for sure.
