The Landscape and the Fury (LUXFILMFEST)

..Nicole VÖGELE, 138 min, 2024 - Switzerland
A longform documentary set on the lengthy border of Bosnia and Croatia, The Landscape and the Fury dwells on scenes of landmines, forests, villages, and migrants to reflect on the traumatic residues of recent and ongoing history. A deeply haunting and evocative essay film which meditates on the remnants of strife, both visible and remembered.
With its static camerawork and sombre atmosphere, sequenced to the rhythmic changing of seasons, The Landscape and Fury encourages a series of sharp yet unhurried observations of the landscapes, inhabitants, and migrants trying to survive in these changing borderlands.
