Review of Maidan (2014) by Santiago S — 13 Dec 2014
A somber meditation on a pivotal moment in Ukraine's struggle to emerge as a modern independent state free of corruption and Russian domination.
This is neither prop-art nor propaganda, but instead a lens on the events as they unfold seen from the perspective of a bystander or witness, without voiceover narration or interviews.
The director let's the scenes speak for themselves without any camera movement at all. It's almost as if the camera were a window.
Warning: there is no dialogue, and no individual action, but rather long crowd sequences.
