Come and See
First of all, I wanna thank @camile for this wonderful recommendation. Got some really interesting and cool stuff there. Be sure to check it out! I'm kinda surprised by how long I've avoided this film. If you wanna recommend me something, I'll link my list down below!
REVIEW-
"You got no right to be."
This is a revolutionary piece of work. When I got to know about this, I wasn't really sure of how this was going to be but it was rated so highly that I had to come to this at some point of time. There is an artistic approach that the director takes in here, which is surreal and also supposed to be harrowing at the same time. The camera work in many of the places where we just focus on face expressions, shot with such brilliance like it was a GoPro camera with an inverse point of view and it motions along with the movement of the character's face. It was far ahead of its time. There was one scene, when Floria meets Glasha and that scene was early in the film, and it hooked me up and engaged me completely. That scene made me realize how human emotions can be so complex and disturbing. And as the film progresses, we experience the disturbing hell of the war world that the film has established. It had very much of a Tarkovsky feel to it and I was fully drawn. About the acting, I can't explain how phenomenally flawless it was. I wasn't able to pick out even a frame where something felt off in the child actors and characters this film revolves around. The music, although used minimally, was really beautiful and it was quite conflicting to see the kind of horror while some heavenly tune is being played. But that's what the artistic approach was. It's a conflict which makes us think and question and feel more emotionally. Overall, this film is something of a masterpiece and the cinematography and the gun shooting which they show very efficiently, was way ahead of its time and beautifully done. I'd really recommend this to everyone although I'm not sure if I myself would be able to come to this for a rewatch. But I'm pretty sure that after I let this seep into my mind more, this might become one of the best films I've ever seen and probably even a favourite. Just one complaint, what the hell is that poster?
Thanks for reading!
