Still With Us

About This Movie

So, 'Still With Us' dives deep into the remnants of the Soviet era, focusing on those Lenin monuments that were scattered across the USSR. It’s a fascinating take, really. The film captures the eerie quietness of these statues, almost like they’re ghosts of a bygone ideology. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of each location. It’s not just about history; it’s about how these relics shaped the spaces around them. The documentary blends archival footage with present-day reflections, creating a reflective tone. You get a sense of nostalgia mixed with a slight undercurrent of absurdity. It's distinctive in its approach to the cult of personality and how places can carry such heavy legacies.
