The Enchanted Frontier Donbass 2018

Since watching Ukrainian documentary director Sergei Loznitsa's first feature film "My Joy, My Joy" at the Hong Kong International Film Festival, one of which shot at least a minute of local market crowds, has been very impressed with his films since then. pay attention to. What is a drama and what is a documentary? How much is true and how much is false in dramas? At the same time, although the documentary is to shoot what actually happened, it is framing by the photographer, edited by the director and editor to recreate the narrative of a story. How neutral and neutral is the documentary?

Introducing Sergei Loznitsa's 2018 absurd set of "The Enchanted Frontier Donbass", set in Ukraine's Donbass. The tensions between Ukraine and Russia are not happening overnight. Donbass in Ukraine in 1994-95 has been fighting. What happened when the war happened?

Synopsis:

The Donbass in eastern Ukraine, once a major industrial town for the Soviet Union, is now a super-large war set. The first second was dressing up, talking, laughing and rehearsing, and the next second was a shocking and devastated explosion. Is it a play directed by the government? Or the daily life of war? In the Slavic Dark Continent, corrupt officials with wicked hearts slander and slander them in hospitals and refugee shelters.

Adapted from real events between 2014 and 2015, Ukrainian director Sergei Loznica, who was a documentary filmmaker, traverses wild areas with a handheld camera, and presents the absurd situation on the front lines of the Ukrainian civil war after the 2014 election, witnessing pro-Russian separatism. A live "fierce" confrontation between the attackers and the Ukrainian government forces.

Actually point out that the war happened in the east and not in the west? Because many Russians immigrated to the east during the communist period, many pro-Russian forces remain. The western population is mainly Ukrainian natives.

As soon as the film starts, the soldiers call him a fascist when they see a German reporter. It's true that there are different stereotypes in different places...
