Summer House

About This Movie

Summer House has this raw, almost dreamlike quality that draws you in. It’s fascinating to see how it captures the essence of a village grappling with change in the early nineties. Vasiliev's performance is quietly powerful, embodying a sense of nostalgia and longing. The pacing feels deliberately slow, allowing moments to breathe, which can be a bit jarring but ultimately rewarding. The practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the film's naturalistic vibe. The themes of homecoming and disconnection resonate throughout, creating an atmosphere that's both haunting and reflective. It's a unique piece of cinema, especially considering the context of its production for Sakha television.
