一场战争在乌克兰东部的顿巴斯爆发，由此衍生出军事冲突、犯罪行动以及分裂主义者主导的大肆劫掠。在顿巴斯，战争已是常态，政府宣传自诩真相之源，仇恨变成了爱的方式。走入顿巴斯，就像踏上一场疯狂的旅行，悲剧和荒谬与生死相交织。这并不是一个关于某个地区、某个国家或某种政治体系的故 事，而是展示了一个迷失于谎言与真相，寻找自我身份的失落的世界，这事关我们每一个人。

It seems, happily, we are to have a new narrative feature or documentary (or both) every year from Ukraine’s Sergei Loznitsa. Shortly after his 2012 sophomore narrative film In the Fog, Loznitsa had announced plans to commence filming on Babi Yar, which details the brutal eponymous massacre which took place in 1941 Ukraine. Due to the severe civil and political unrest in the region, Loznitsa was forced to move on to other projects. But following the premiere of 2018’s Donbass as the Un Certain Regard opening film (one of the year’s best films and still in need of US distribution), the director announced plans to revisit Babi Yar, eyeing a summer 2019 shoot.

A chronicle of the civil uprising against the regime of Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych that took place in Kyiv in the winter of 2013/14. The film follows the progress of the revolution: from peaceful rallies, half a million strong in the Maidan square, to the bloody street battles between protesters and riot police.

《瘋狂的邊境》以外，還有瘋狂的審訊。史太林時期惡名昭彰的大審判，控告一批當時首屈一指的經濟學家與工程師，誣蔑他們勾結外國勢力，企圖恢復資本主義，危害國家安全。《鐵幕溫柔女子》（42 屆）導演羅斯尼薩費煞苦心，從歷史檔案翻出當年法庭影像，重新修復梳理，重溫一個時代的謊言，看獨裁者如何利用審判，鞏固極權，打壓異己，自編自導卡夫卡式夢魘，迫使人們招認子虛烏有的罪名。影片也是鑑古知今，沒認清極權主義的恐怖，它還是會重來。

The enigma of the personality cult is revealed in the grand spectacle of Stalin’s funeral. The film is based on unique archive footage, shot in the USSR on March 5 - 9, 1953, when the country mourned and buried Joseph Stalin.
