Ukrainian surgeon Serhiy is captured by the Russian military forces in the conflict zone in Eastern Ukraine and while in captivity, he is exposed to horrifying scenes of humiliation, violence and indifference towards human life. After his release, he returns to his comfortable middle-class apartment and tries to find a purpose in life by rebuilding his relationship with his daughter and ex-wife. He learns how to be a human being again, how to be a father and help his daughter, who needs his love and support.
影片的拍摄手法和19年乌克兰电影《亚特兰蒂斯》完全一致，都是分段式的超长固定镜头…原来是同一位导演…
可怕的战争。
威尼斯Day8唯一的五星，导演功力很强，真实/象征不断互相reflect。汽车玻璃前运动画面精彩得让人赞叹，如同《藏娇记》火车驶过场景，是主人公内心和现实生活的投射。中央构图有仪式感，象征和隐喻用得精彩。希望拿奖！
打破第四面墙的窥视型影片，导演选了一个非常适合的方式拍这种沉重话题（罗伊安德森粉狂喜）。一个个定格长镜头可以把人压迫到窒息。
polarizing style of filmmaking, but I like it
