This is a journey film—both internal and external—set

This is a journey film—both internal and external—set across Albania, Romania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Greece. The story follows a director on a quest to find the lost film by the Manakis brothers, purported to be Greece's first motion picture. However, his search leads him not to a cinematic treasure, but to the slow death agony of the Balkans themselves. His journey culminates not in discovery, but in depression, pain, and a profound sense of defeat—a feeling powerfully symbolized by the recurring image of a fragmented statue of Lenin.

pictures that fascinates

There is something in the pictures of this film that is indescribable. The camera is always lost in a deep fog , Keitel performance raptures the viewer and captivates by the poetic power of the pictures and dialogues. The movement of the camera subjugates, always moving , very slowly , it literally seems to float in the air , in the fog , around the actors . This slow , quiet presence of the camera delivers a lyrical feeling of peace and calm , even during the war .

A unique experience in cinema . 9/10
