Resident Forever

About This Movie

So, there's this film, 'Resident Forever' from 2017. It's a documentary that really dives into life in a border region of the Caucasus. You get this heavy, oppressive atmosphere just from the way the villagers go about their daily lives, constantly aware of the tensions. The cinematography captures the stunning landscapes, almost a stark contrast to the reality of their existence. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to absorb the weight of their stories. It's not polished, but that rawness adds to its impact. The sound design really hits, too—those distant reports echoing through the valleys. It’s all about endurance, really. Not your typical war doc, but there’s something compelling about how it lays bare the human condition amidst conflict.

Cinematography captures stark landscapes. · Focus on human endurance under threat. · Unique perspective on cold war tensions.
