Troya

About This Movie

Troya is this intriguing short by Gordon von Steiner, set against the backdrop of Kyiv's Troieshchyna. The stark, Soviet-era buildings almost become characters themselves, encapsulating a sense of isolation that resonates throughout the film. It’s got this raw, gritty vibe that's both haunting and beautiful. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of each vignette. The performances feel authentic, capturing the struggles and resilience of everyday life. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, enhancing that immersive quality. It’s a film that doesn't just tell a story; it makes you feel the weight of urban existence. Definitely one of those lesser-known gems worth exploring.

Visually rich, rooted in urban reality.Explores isolation effectively.Authentic performances enhance the experience.
