Luxembourg, Luxembourg (2022)

Real ukrainian suburban life circa 2000

[8/10 · 18 June 2023]

Ok this is very zeitgeist film. I think it really tries to show life of typical teenagers after collapse of Soviet Union in Ukraine. 1 type goes into unlawfull activities, in order to reach success, and other goes into law enforcing, both dont reach much success. It has a lot of cultural references to the style and realities of 90 -2000 Ukraine. It is very iteristing how 2 brothers view Luxemburg and Europe as a whole as a land of rich people, but this Europe will not give anything in the end. For some it is a new start from scratch, and for some it is understanding that their future is in this ukranian reality.

Probably some will find is a little boring and slow paced, but all the acting is done by real soldiers from conflict. This is a more a zeitgeist film about what is life in conflict zone.
