Black Hole

About This Movie

So, 'Black Hole' from 2012 dives into Korkino, a village where reality feels almost surreal. The documentary captures this odd mix of starkness and intrigue, especially with its take on the electoral fraud during the State Duma elections. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of a place that seems to be caught in time. The coal mine there, touted as the deepest in the continent, adds a haunting backdrop to the stories. It’s really the human element that stands out, showing how the community grapples with both the mundane and the extraordinary. And though the director remains anonymous, the film’s execution doesn’t shy away from the raw and unfiltered truth, which gives it a distinctive edge.
