The Russian Winter is an intriguing watch, blending a documentary style with a deeply personal narrative. It follows John Forte, a musician with a compelling story, navigating through the stark contrasts of life—Brooklyn's rough edges to the refined halls of an elite boarding school, and then spiraling down into the harsh realities of federal prison. The pacing feels almost reflective, allowing you to absorb the weight of his experiences. There's a raw authenticity in Forte’s performances, where music intertwines with his experiences, creating an atmosphere that's both haunting and inspiring. The film doesn't shy away from the darker aspects of his life, yet it also celebrates resilience and transformation, making it quite distinct in its storytelling approach.
