  • Oscar Worthy

    I have just seen the film Eternal Winter at the Raindance Festival in London and was absolutely awestruck by the accomplishment. I was spellbound from beginning to end and want to wish it all the best of luck with distribution and I hope it receives the recognition it deserves. I'll spread the word as much as I possibly can. See it if you get the chance.

  • A Slog Through WWII Camp Cliches With A Contemporary Propagandist Undertone

    Marc_Horrickan2018-10-06

    I think I have become too inured to the impact of the WWII Prison Camp film thanks to its continual reformulation in the cinemas of Central and Eastern Europe. ETERNAL WINTER is a handsomely, if blandly, mounted historical drama that, as a closing title card hints at, is telling a hidden or repressed counter-history. The film's original selling point is also the thing that makes me hold it with a degree of cynical regard. This is a WWII Camp film about a labour camp in Russian Ukraine, rather than a Nazi concentration camp. Marina Gera plays Iren Walter, a Schwabian in Hungary in 1944, when the Russians come to town. Transporting the women of her district to a mining labour camp in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, the film falls into a familiar pattern of deprivation, false hope, mental collapse and gradual recovery. Initially Iren tries to survive the camp situation by aiding a young and vulnerable deaf girl called Anna. However, when this girl is cruelly left to die from typhus, Iren descends into her own gaping hole of hopelessness. She is rescued from a certain death sentence by the steely pragmatism of Rajmund, a male camp inmate, who lives his existence in the camp by some basic guiding principles. Over time his pragmatism is showing to also come from a place of love for Iren, but she cannot renounce her family or her homeland, and thus sets in motion the torturously symbolic closing passages of the film. I am well aware of the history of Gulags and Russian work camps under Stalin, and how so many figures on the wrong side of politics ended up broken shells of human beings within them, but I can't help but see a little bit of contemporary political opportunism in a film that puts the Russians out to dry as the brutes from the East, once again. It fits a certain nationalist narrative that is being pushed by the Hungarian government of Victor Orban. This light propagandist touch aside, I really wasn't drawn in to the leaden pacing of the film, that presents us with the harsh realities of the workers camp, only to then make light of them as the film proceeds towards its logic conclusion. So much of the division and intrigue that is set-up early in the film, between the Schwabians themselves, is glossed over once the film becomes more assuredly about the heroic sacrifice of Iren. The film cant help but fall in to predictable cliche long before the end of its two hour running time.
