It was made by the Lithuanian filmmaker and anthropologist Mantas Kvedaravi\u010dius, who was killed, on April 2, during the siege of Mariupol (he was taken captive and shot by Russian soldiers). He had been making his film there, documenting the lives of Ukranian civilians who had taken refuge in a church. The movie, conceived as a follow-up to the 2016 documentary \u201cMariupolis,\u201d was completed by Kvedaravi\u010dius\u2019s partner, Hanna Bilbrova (who takes a co-director credit), and it was shown for the first time as a Special Screening in Cannes.<\/p>\n<p>For the entire film, we\u2019re inside, or on the grounds of, or maybe across the street from the Christian Baptist Evangelical Church, a tall building, stately in a slightly ungainly way, made of tan brick lined along the sides with red brick columns. The architecture is somewhere between modernist (there are two circular windows) and medieval, the building framed in front by a pair of giant old spruce trees. In the basement, where makeshift beds have been set up, about two dozen civilians linger, praying and eating meals together, and waiting for\u2026they don\u2019t know what.<\/p>\n<p>The first words we hear are someone saying, \u201cEverything is in ruins.\u201d The war had already been to Mariupol, reducing much of the surrounding landscape to rubble. During the period when the film was shot (in March), the war had retreated. Even so, it lingers in the distance \u2014 throughout the movie we hear bombs, and occasional gunfire, and there are constant plumes of smoke, all of it h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ening maybe three or four miles away. So the war is at bay, but it\u2019s also right there, like a monster getting ready to pounce.<\/p>\n<p>On the grounds of the church \u2014 and everywhere, really \u2014 there is debris. Chunks of it, scattered bits of it and, across the street (a former residential neighborhood that\u2019s been flattened by bombs), endless stretching hills of it. Debris, as we see, is a major element of war, something no war film has ever completely captured except for \u201cFull Metal Jacket\u201d (which, during the shootout with the sniper in Hu\u00e9, becomes the \u201cGuernica\u201d of war-debris films). In \u201cMariupolis 2,\u201d the debris that\u2019s everywhere seems to express the randomness of war, a mess that can\u2019t be cleaned up, though two men wielding blue plastic brooms try to do just that, with quixotic valor, in the church parking lot. At that moment the movie seems to say: In war, this is what you do \u2014 you sweep up, you go on.<\/p>\n<p>Kvedaravi\u010dius, as a filmmaker, doesn\u2019t aestheticize the war. \u201cMariupolis 2\u201d simply gives us one shot after another, linking them with a poetic jump-cut flow as it attempts to lend visual and emotional coherence to the experience of men, women, and children trapped in a bunker in Ukraine doing their best to ward off the chaos. Each image is vivid, like a photograph, and each is held for 10 seconds, or 30 seconds, or maybe two or four minutes. We\u2019re getting panoramas of destruction (the shots of bomb smoke rising through the purple twilight have an element of beauty, though they\u2019re horrifying), interspersed with shots of the everyday \u2014 a woman boiling a huge kettle of soup, with weedy sticks of dill, on a makeshift fireplace in the church backyard, or a mound of earth, strewn with wilted flowers, that we realize, with a hush, is a grave, or a man seeing that his neighbor has died and pulling the body away so that he can take the generator. The movie then spends close to five minutes showing him and another man tugging the orange generator along. Occasionally, what happens is even funny (the dog ate all the butter!).<\/p>\n<p>In \u201cMariupolis 2,\u201d we\u2019re looking at v\u00e9rit\u00e9 snapshots of war as it happens, and that\u2019s a thing of value. You see small events here and feel them \u2014 life as it\u2019s lived during wartime \u2014 that you won\u2019t see on CNN. At the same time, Kvedaravi\u010dius was a documentary purist who in this film, at least, eschews any hint of the kind of nonfiction storytelling that draws people into even the most forbidding of documentaries. \u201cMariupolis 2\u201d is resolute and impersonal in its objectivity. As a piece of filmmaking, it\u2019s austere enough to make a Frederick Wiseman documentary look like an episode of \u201cDance Moms.\u201d Do we get to know the people we see? Not really. That\u2019s the film\u2019s most radical choice. But it\u2019s also a resonant one, because the message is that we don\u2019t need to know them to know they could be any of us.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
