Miss Gulag provides a sensitive and captivating look at the new generation of women to grow up free in post-Soviet Russia. The film is beautifully shot and the women's stories are genuinely moving. Also provides amazing access into an often overlooked part of Russia - the rural lands of Siberia and prison.
I was very impressed to learn that this was the effort of a first-time director, Maria Yatskova. Her ability to capture and translate this subject matter in a moving and subtle style had the feeling of a far more experienced professional film-maker.
I look forward to more films by this group of talented individuals. They succeed in taking the documentary format to the next level.
