Songs of Duolan is this intimate documentary that really digs into the heart of displacement. The way Duolan transforms his life in Batumi, from an apartment into a sushi kitchen, it’s like watching the struggle of maintaining one’s identity in a foreign land. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in the landscapes and the subtle interactions with locals that remind him of Yakutia. What sets it apart is the way it captures the essence of longing without being overly sentimental. The visuals are striking, with a raw quality that feels genuine. Duolan’s quiet resilience is palpable, and there's a simplicity in the way he searches for connections, making it all resonate deeply. Quite a unique exploration of nostalgia, really.
