Amazon is quite the curious piece from 1986. The film dives into the gritty underbelly of urban life through the lens of Domna Platonovna, a lace merchant dabbling in some morally questionable activities. Her encounter with Lekanida Petrovna, a fallen noblewoman, adds layers of complexity, exploring themes of degradation and redemption. The atmosphere has this raw, almost palpable tension, driven by performances that feel genuine, if not always polished. The pacing might not be for everyone; it sometimes lingers on moments that really drive home the characters' struggles. It's a unique blend of drama that reflects on societal expectations with a gritty realism that's hard to come by in many contemporary works.
