Wings

A beautiful film about a woman who fought for the world she’s living in only to find out that world is one where she is a ghost. Nadezhda is such a interesting character to see and have the film explore. We see her life and the mundanity and lack of purpose she has. It is explored beautifully thanks to the wonderful actress portraying her, the excellent Maya Bulgakova

It was during this that I found out that her name actually means hope adding a cruel layer of irony to her entire character. Both a tough former soldier yet she looks out to a window and sense the air of melancholy nostalgia that surrounds her. We barely ever see the war but you can tell the brutality of it just by her mannerisms. 

It is a slow burn but I think the ending really does complete the entire film. It is the perfect cherry on top to put on a very well made film that really brings the entire movie together. The aesthetic of the film is beautiful as well. The very real and grounded natural setting is such a perfect contrast when we see scenes to her flying whether its a daydream or a memory. 

I also really love the Russian doll play scene. I thought it was humorous and adorable.

Je suis un grand féministe (quelle scène de fin en vrai) 🙏🏼

“Seems like I’m always running around but it’s all for nothing. There’s no pleasure in it for me, or for anyone else.”

Beautifully shot film, the last 30 minutes really carried. That ending was devastating but beautiful at the same time, but I think it would’ve left more of an impact if we got to know Nadezhda more than we got too. But I thought it, nonetheless, was beautiful. I especially appreciated the aerial shots

Śmierć Łarisy Szepitko (do pary ze śmiercią Jean’a Vigo) to największa strata dla światowego kina!

Ten film, jak i jej „łabędzi śpiew” jakim było późniejsze„Wniebowstąpienie", mnie w tym utwierdzają...

После войны остаются «лишние» люди. У нее мало осталось сил на эту жизнь, но она все еще может свободно летать как птичка
