So, ‘Save’ is a documentary that really digs into the life of Afanasii Dermenzhy, this Ukrainian architect who’s left a mark with his structures, including the Antonovsky Bridge. The film has this raw, poignant atmosphere that captures the tension of his surroundings, especially with the recent conflicts. You see his dedication not just to architecture but to his community. The pacing is steady, allowing for moments of reflection as we hear from Afanasii and his wife, Mariia, about their choices and the resilience of their town. It’s distinct in how it portrays everyday life amidst turmoil, giving you a sense of both pride and sorrow through their stories. Definitely a watch for anyone interested in architecture and social impact, although it's quite somber.
