Review of Baran (2001) by Matt G — 27 Jun 2016

Baran is one of the single most human films I've ever seen. The story of an aimless young man and a hidden young woman on opposites sides of a refugee imposition is stunningly elegant, both in visuals and drama.

The setting, a beautifully overcast construction site, reminds us that when we are focused are building instead of destruction, our humanity can be given room to empathize. Funny, earnest, curious, sweet, and wonderful, it pushes us to find purpose in the care of another.
