Dawn

My God. This modern day monochrome war epic, starring children, based on an unproduced Sergei Eisenstein work, is jaw-droppingly gorgeous, enigmatic, and potent. Completely embracing the method (and propaganda) of Soviet cinema from the other side of the curtain, after its demise, the result becomes a curious amalgamation of time and space, something layered and dreamlike like Dovzhenko's early masterpieces. Seek it out.
