Gorelov

About This Movie

Gorelov is an intriguing character study set against the backdrop of modern Moscow. Lesha, at just 23, embodies that restless spirit, feeling the weight of his past while navigating an uncertain future. The film has a contemplative tone, almost like a quiet meditation on youth and self-discovery. There's this stark contrast between the bustling city life and Lesha's internal struggles; it creates a unique atmosphere that lingers. The pacing leans towards the reflective, allowing moments to breathe, which some might find slow, but it suits the themes of memory and longing. The performances are grounded, capturing that nuanced feeling of disconnection that many young adults grapple with. It’s not flashy; instead, it feels very real, with a rawness that resonates.
