Saving North

About This Movie

So, 'Saving North' is this intriguing documentary that really dives deep into the Russian North, with this English photographer, Richard Davies, at the helm. The film has this somber yet beautiful tone, capturing the stark landscapes and those hauntingly beautiful Wooden Churches that are on the brink of disappearing. There's something so raw about how Davies puts his camera down at times, letting the moment breathe. The pacing is contemplative, almost meditative, allowing the viewer to really soak in the atmosphere. Themes of loss and preservation are woven throughout, making you think about what we take for granted. It’s not just about the architecture; it’s about the cultural echoes that linger in these ghostly places. A definite standout for those into visual storytelling with a heart.
