The Dead Nation
2017 · 83 min
A quiet, haunting essay of still photographs and diary words that slowly accumulates into a grave meditation on ordinary life turning toward atrocity.
- Overview
- A documentary-essay which shows Costică Axinte's stunning collection of pictures depicting a Romanian small town in the thirties and forties. The narration, composed mostly from excerpts taken from the diary of a Jewish doctor from the same era, tells the rising of the antisemitism and eventually a harrowing depiction of the Romanian Holocaust.
- How it feels
- Bleak, melancholic, dark and earnest. Slow-burning and demanding.
- About
- Death, race, war, memory
- Content
- Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
- Note
- Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
