The Trader (2018)
Beautiful and grim
25 August 2019 - 8 out of 8 users found this review helpful.
The images are as starkly beautiful as they are grim. The caucuses are one of the worlds most beautiful regions and have been economically devastated since the fall of the Soviet Union and political turmoil with its Russian neighbor. It isn't just poverty but the poverty and grim hopelessness following an economic collapse. This film evokes some of the same emotions for me as seeing a midwestern town following the closing of it's only big auto-manufacturing plant.
