Kazimir

About This Movie

Kazimir is an intriguing little piece that draws you into its eerie, almost claustrophobic world. Set in a remote Lipovan village, it brilliantly captures the isolation of its inhabitants, who rely on the titular deacon for healing yet fear the night. The film’s atmosphere is thick with dread, bolstered by its moody cinematography that highlights the desolation of the Delta landscape. There’s a nice slow burn as the legend of the creature lurking outside unfolds, with the tension building in a way that's almost palpable. The practical effects are understated but effective, adding to the surreal quality of Kazimir’s powers. The performances, especially that of the deacon, add a layer of complexity—he’s both a beacon of hope and a figure of fear. It’s definitely a film that lingers in the mind long after the credits roll.
