Russland von oben (2019)
There always is a "but"
It's filmed beautifully, yes. Not that every one of us will have a chance to look at Russia "from above".
But.
The first thing you see is nature. That supposed to mean the movie should be apolitical. The creators, apparently, thought otherwise and put a few corresponding comments. Just why? Are you able to look at nature and see... well, nature, not a state it belongs to, and, the more so, not include your own opinions on this state 'cause people come to watch some great pictures, not to listen to some political stuff as if hidden under neutral tone?
The second thing is the absence of any storytelling logic. The first moment you are in the polar zone, the next -- in the south. Then you're in the Arctic again and then in some third place. The two biggest cities are shown twice. Why? Many people have already heard of them.
Just for the opportunity to look at these various landscapes from the sky
7 out of 10.
