Krisis

About This Movie

Krisis is a fascinating exploration of the chaos during the 2013 protests in Ukraine, where the political and the personal collide. Dimitri Venkov really captures the raw tension of the times through a series of debates among artists, each representing different viewpoints. It's a blend of drama and horror, not in a conventional sense but more in the way it unearths the fear and uncertainty of identity in a fractured society. The pacing feels organic, almost like you're stumbling along with the protestors. The use of practical effects to recreate the environment of protest adds a tangible layer. Performances are grounded, with a sense of urgency that draws you into these complex discussions about history and aesthetics. It's distinctive for its documentary-style approach to a reenactment, giving you the sense of real-time urgency.
