"Beanpole": Movie Review
Demandingly tense in its lengthy ambitions, "Beanpole" survives through a combination of its eccentric storytelling and magnificent acting. With its keen eye for detail and an overwhelming construct of rampant intensity, there isn't one dull moment throughout. Even with its perplexing last act, "Beanpole" is a nightmare of dramatic consequence.
Two ex anti-aircraft gunners cope with the unrelenting realities of post World War 2, and fall victim to the vicious, traumatic effects of the war.
Director/writer Kantemir Balagov's ("Closeness") second feature film is incredibly distinctive. In comparison to his first film, Balagov holds back his rage and utilizes his strong material to carry most of the weight of the film. The intimacy between these two damaged women incorporates some incredible sequences between Viktoria Miroshnichenko and Vasilisa Perelygina, without a word being spoken.
While "Beanpole" goes too far in its effort to conclude and hurts the overall bottom line, Balagov has put himself on the map with something peculiar. It's a gripping experience, committed to showing the real horrors lurking deep inside our history books.
