Як «Ля Палісіада» Філіпа Сотниченка говорить про дев’яності
How "La Palisade" by Filip Sotnychenko speaks about the nineties

Summary/Abstract: "Polaroid" is an unprecedented full-length debut film by Filipp Sotnichenko, shot with a retro camera on rare videotapes, showcasing Ukraine in the 1990s without filters. The film explores the unresolved issues of the past generation through the story of a judicial psychiatrist, Oleksandr, and his friend-investigator Ilgar Sabitov, who are investigating the murder of a policeman linked to both. The narrative examines the psychological legacy left to future generations, addressing questions of justice, values, and societal evolution amidst the backdrop of post-Soviet noir. "La Palisiada" by Sotnichenko uses this stylistic excess to delve into the complexities of self-education over two decades ago. The film's most symbolic scene involves a shift in focus from children to parents, reflecting a generational perspective. The authenticity of the film is heightened by its original Russian language, though its translation into Ukrainian has evoked mixed reactions. The film's humor and violence, especially its portrayal of the death penalty, challenge viewers to engage with its deeper meanings and anthropological significance.
