A tight script? Check. Capable actors? Check. Romance? Check. Deep family drama? Check. Beautiful photography in idyllic settings? Check.
Yes, all the ingredients are there. Just leave it to the talented chef to create a delicious dish out of it. When everything is right, a Tania Khodakivska movie is a delight to watch. And with 'Prochenoe voskresenie', this is absolutely the case.
'Prochenoe voskresenie' is a cool, elegant and concise film that addresses all of the big questions--love, morality, death, fate, chance -without ever seeming heavy or self- conscious.
There isn't much to not like about the film. The plot thickens towards the end of the film and the pacing gets a bit messed up. Maybe that's a good thing, I don't know. My overall impression was very good. I loved it! 7.5/10
