ДОНБАСС (DONBASS)

Watchable. Poverty and lawlessness appear to be more devastating than the war itself. Heavy and lengthy. Shot in and around Krivoy Rog. 

At the 2019 Docs Against Gravity Film Festival, I went to a meeting with Sergei Loznitsa. He said the movie had been shot in Krivoy Rog which is 300 km from the front and very similar to Donbass. Out of 100 actors half were non-professionals, 2000 people worked on it altogether. The lead roles were by professionals. Each movement was meticulously planned and practised. Nothing was left to chance.
