Butterfly Vision: Maksym Nakonechnyi’s hard drama follows a female Ukrainian soldier, captured by the pro-Russia separatists fighting in Donbas, after she is released in a prisoner swap. The film shows how she deals with the trauma and abuse during her captivity, and the not-quite walk in the park process when she is back home. Nothing in this film makes it an easy sit, but reality is harsh in that region, and has been for a while now. Rita Burkovska plays the protagonist, strong but broken; it’s a tough role, and the choice to play her as emotionally inert, at times, makes intelectual sense but is unengaging; Valivots Liubomyr, as her husband, doesn’t have much to do, particularly because he is pushed away and needs to react to a blank canvas. The film has a simple and functional look: editors Alina Gorlova and Ivor Ivezić work with silence (and the sound of drones), and the use of drone surveillance images works as a representation of the protagonist’s emotional state.
