Just saw Porcelain War, which is about some artists, at least one of whom is also training civilians to use firearms as well as part of a special forces unit which uses drones, in the Ukraine.
It's charming at times, horrific at others has some beautiful animation, a fantastic musical backing (from DakhaBrakha; which to my ears, at least has some Tuvan Throat singing similarities on occasion) and I guess it was mostly made by the people who are in the film itself?
If you watch the trailer, it will give you a decent overview of what you are about to get yourself into I think?
I hate films that glorify violence; something all too common in this day and age.
Thankfully, Porcelain War, glorifies art and striving despite overwhelming odds to the contrary. Weapons and violence, while present, are used with disdain. Whereas the soulful smiles of those who would rather not be fighting are bright when they encounter even a tiny porcelain figurine or some custom painted drone.
What a stark contrast from the awful movies I watched yesterday.
Porcelain War is not screening very widely, this was the last night it was playing at the theater in San Rafael for example, but it was a packed house and the audience applauded at the end and seemed as if they all sat through the end credits. Something extremely rare for cinematic experiences.
A difficult, but worthwhile watch.
