Brama (2017)
Fearsome justice
1 September 2022 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
This mystical film is interesting to unravel, although it does not need so much mysticism.
The main character of 'Brama' is not at all grandma Prisya/Paraska, but the Zone itself, which embodies Ukraine. You can look at the Zone from afar, sometimes visit it for exoticism, try to use it in some way, but the Zone finally takes a brutal revenge on everyone who despises it. Grandma is only a servant of the mystical, even demonic justice of the Zone/Ukraine.
This story, in my opinion, must be told a little more simply - without that ridiculous cgi and simbolism as glowing catfish or black goat. All of mysticism should have been left at the level of rumours, I think.
