NO-ONE (2018)
A Very Interesting Watch For Me
Being someone who is American and was pretty unfamiliar with this subject matter, I was pleasantly surprised when I watched this film. It was suggested to me by a friend who knows that I love history, but this had a much different touch to it. I love a good indie film and this would be right up there with the caliber of movies that I watch. So let's dive in!
Taking place in the USSR, this movie showcases the political and social climate at the time. One of the main characters, Tamara is the wife of a KGB general and much of the storyline is focused on her. She has a nephew, named Vlad, who is a filmmaker, who is also featured here. Lastly, we have Zina, who is Vlad's lover and a daughter of a high-powered political figure. The movie helps to capture the fall of Soviet Russia during a time when things seemed bleak for them all.
The conflict, tension, and even sex in this movie are all a metaphor for the USSR and had it fell so quickly. The movie was shot incredibly well and I am glad that I took the time to watch it and learn even more about that period in history.
