Archangel

This film features the story of Lt. John Boles, a one-legged Canadian soldier who finds himself in Arkhangelsk during the 1919 allied intervention. He is taken in by a dysfunctional Russian family and confuses a local woman for his presumed dead lover, creating a poignant narrative that intertwines love and loss.

Archangel is notable for its black and white presentation and silent film style, which adds to its surreal and dreamlike quality. The runtime of 82 minutes offers a compact yet immersive experience, making it a unique entry in the realm of war dramas. Its artistic approach may appeal to collectors who appreciate films that challenge traditional narratives and visual styles.
