The Lord Eagle

About This Movie

The Lord Eagle is an intriguing piece set in the 1930s Yakutia that captures the essence of rural life. Old Mikipper and Oppuos, living in their isolation, embody a simplicity that's both serene and haunting. The arrival of a sacred eagle adds a layer of tension and superstition, creating a slow-burning atmosphere that makes you feel the weight of their existence. The film’s pacing is deliberate, which might challenge some viewers but immerses you in their world. The practical effects, especially around the eagle, lend an authenticity that resonates with the natural surroundings. Performances are understated, yet they convey profound emotional depth, drawing you into the old couple's struggles and beliefs. It's a film that lingers, evoking contemplation about nature, faith, and the passage of time.
