WAR

About This Movie

So, there's this documentary short called 'WAR' from 2022, which really stands out for its unique approach. No narration at all, just haunting music by Anton Baibakov that adds to the weight of the visuals. It's a collection of stark black and white photographs taken by Olexandr Glyadelov during a harrowing time in Ukraine, spanning just a few months in early 2022. The stillness of the images speaks volumes about the chaos and despair in places like Kyiv and Bucha. There's a haunting atmosphere—every frame feels heavy with the stories of those affected, yet the pacing allows you to linger on each image. It's not your typical doc, and that absence of voice makes you confront the reality in a raw, unfiltered way.
