New Scheherazade

About This Movie

So, 'New Scheherazade' is a fascinating drama from 1990 that really plays with the themes of love and longing. The atmosphere feels quite melancholic, especially with Marina's journey through Leningrad—there’s something raw about her desperation. It’s interesting how the pacing mirrors her emotional state; at times it drags, which I think adds to that feeling of being lost. The performances carry a weight that’s hard to ignore, especially with the way Marina interacts with her surroundings and the police. It feels like a snapshot of a moment in time, with practical effects that, while simple, lend a certain authenticity to the narrative. Definitely a film that lingers in your thoughts long after the credits roll.
