If he succeeds, the land can be protected as a European reserve. This <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>arently simple premise \u2014 the kernel at the outset of \u201cThe Editorial Office\u201d \u2014 can\u2019t begin to hint at the rugged tapestry of thematic and topical threads that Roman Bondarchuk\u2019s second narrative feature proceeds to weave together, the unique product of both the director\u2019s vision and ambition, and also of the circumstances under which it gestated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Set and shot just before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and completed during the war, the film closes with a dedication to editor Viktor Onysko, who lost his life in the conflict during a combat mission (his job was completed by Nikon Romanchenko, with contributions from Heike Parplies, who also worked with Bondarchuk on his 2018 debut, \u201cVolcano\u201d).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    While attempting to track his groundhog target, Yura catches some arsonists on camera as they set a forest fire. Such a journalistic scoop ought to be an open-and-shut case: publish, expose, let the authorities take action. Unfortunately, life in the Ukrainian provinces doesn\u2019t work that way. As Yura attempts to interest various people in the story, most of them respond with a version of one editor\u2019s blunt assessment that \u201cno-one gives a shit about facts,\u201d and a broader picture begins to unfold of a civilization collapsing into absurdity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Corrupt politicians learn fashionable dances and attempt to go viral. A violent but wealthy man keeps his girlfriend chained by the ankle on a swimming pool float; she is liberated, then returns to him. Yura\u2019s mother, an unemployed 50-year-old tourism manager enamored by the get-rich-quick promises of an American snake oil salesman, ploughs money she doesn\u2019t have into cryptocurrency. There are hints of cult activity culminating in a sequence that wouldn\u2019t look out of place cut into an Ari Aster movie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Richard Bach\u2019s \u201cJonathan Livingstone Seagull\u201d pops up throughout as a reference, and it\u2019s easy to see how that wildly successful allegorical novella applies here: Yura is Jonathan, the seagull that lives to fly, while the rest of his kind are petty and small-minded, surviving rather than living. As the paper\u2019s editor (and Yura\u2019s new boss) puts it, \u201cPeople won\u2019t think about the war until they see the Moscow tanks rolling in. They want to eat, drink, fuck, pray.\u201d Yura is told that if he wants to succeed as a journalist, he needs to prioritize fabricated human-interest stories (ideally with a morbid or sexual element) and money-spinners (for example, fraudulent political puff pieces hyping the installation of a nonexistent pipeline).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The film may come as a surprise to consumers of Western <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>, accustomed to seeing Ukraine presented in relatively straightforward terms as the plucky underdog resisting the might of Moscow. Bondarchuk has written neither a love letter to Ukraine nor a full-on indictment. Rather, it\u2019s perhaps best viewed as a complicated elegy for the country\u2019s potential, a surrealist expression of mourning for an endangered worldview based on faith in the value of truth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    While the events depicted in the film often have a larger-than-life feel to them, an effect amplified by their cumulative impact, they are not flights of fancy plucked from the ether, but bear plausible relationships to past, present and future events, as you might expect from someone with Bondarchuk\u2019s documentary background. At one point, a political rival is shot and Yura finds himself taking photographs of the bullet wound in the man\u2019s forehead, to disprove the official line that he has died of COVID.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The film\u2019s critique isn\u2019t targeted at a particular government, but leveled at anyone who collaborates in disrupting the idea that truth matters. Yura\u2019s mother talks at one point about how \u201cpeople of his kind are neither good nor bad. They\u2019re different. More complicated.\u201d So in a post-truth world, we\u2019re also post-morality. But where George Orwell\u2019s \u201c1984\u201d saw the Party insist that \u201ctwo plus two equals five\u201d if they said so, the nightmare here is not that one single authority dictates truth, but that anybody can do so, resulting in a fracturing of reality into infinite competing narratives. In Yura\u2019s world, if a lie is proven to be a lie, firstly, no one cares, and secondly, there will be 1,000 more lies ready and waiting to drown out the truth. Part of the appeal of conspiracy theories is that they suggest that at least somebody knows what\u2019s going on. Here, the villain is entropy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The choice of a groundhog as a motif feels apt, since the little rodent is primarily associated in pop culture with repetition to the point of madness, thanks to the Bill Murray comedy. \u201cThe Editorial Office\u201d captures the feeling of being trapped in an absurdist cycle of corruption, where there is no possibility of a satisfying cathartic moment of victory, merely an endless struggle in which all sense of meaning has been eroded. There can be no heroes in such a battle, Bondarchuk is bold enough to suggest, because the battleground itself is such a shape-shifting swamp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
