A look at the 2013 and 2014 civil unrest in the Ukrainian capital's central square.
Courageous and indelible account and an invaluable perspective of the protests.
A bold, objective document of the rise and fall of a protest movement.
The idealism attains a haunted, tragic dimension by the end of the film.
Maidan’s rigorous execution, suggestive of gallery video, feels detached but that only makes its panorama all the more vivid. Loznitsa offers something that these days is rare and precious: close-up coverage of history in the making that doesn’t have “breaking news” ribbons or network logos plastered all over it.
