Russie, journal d'une année de guerre

About This Movie

So, 'Russie, journal d'une année de guerre' is this really raw documentary from a young Russian filmmaker. She’s opposing the war in Ukraine, and the way she captures everything feels intimate yet heavy. Filming in her small hometown, you really get a sense of the personal toll this conflict has taken on her community. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to linger on the faces and places that tell their own stories. There's a somber atmosphere throughout, and the practical effects are really just her camera work, capturing reality as it is. It’s not flashy, but there's something deeply affecting about how she documents the struggles. The performances, if you can call them that, are real people in genuine moments, which adds a layer of authenticity that’s hard to shake off.
