Rostov-Luanda is this poignant exploration, really. Sissako, with his unique lens, just captures the rawness of post-war Angola, and it's like you're right there with him. The pacing is meditative; he takes his time to let stories unfold. The interviews feel intimate, almost haunting, reflecting the lost dreams of a generation that fought so hard. The atmosphere is heavy, filled with dislocation and a longing for what could have been. The practical effects are minimal, just people and their stories, but that’s what makes it so real. You get a sense of resilience amidst despair. It's a reflection on loss but also a kind of tribute, you know?
