Thus they will sing

About This Movie

Thus they will sing is a fascinating exploration of tradition through the lens of contemporary life. The film weaves together personal stories with the unique soromnitski songs, revealing a depth that feels both intimate and expansive. You have these traditional spivankas, often overlooked, that carry this raw, erotic energy — and they’re juxtaposed against modern settings, which creates this interesting tension. The pacing is reflective, allowing the viewer to really absorb the emotions tied to these cultural expressions. It's not flashy, but the atmosphere is thick with nostalgia and authenticity. The performances feel genuine, capturing the essence of the songs, and the film itself embraces a sort of collage style that you don't see often. A distinct piece for sure.
