About This Movie
Stars Over the River Drin has this raw, palpable energy. Zhabjaku really captures the struggles of post-war Albania through Lulëzim's journey in the hydroelectric project. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative at times, allowing viewers to savor the tension between progress and tradition. The performances are quite solid, making you feel the weight of responsibility on Lulëzim’s shoulders. There’s a striking use of natural landscapes that feels almost like a character in itself, marrying the human experience with the vastness of nature. The film’s themes of ambition, sacrifice, and the clash of modernity with the past resonate deeply, showing a side of engineering that’s more about people than machines.
