My family moved out of Mariupol in mid-2021. We lived in between the Drama Theater and maternity hospital, across from the University. We sometimes sat outside at Coffee Racer cafe next to the hospital, drank coffee, and watched people strolling along Miru Ave.
My mother stayed behind in Mariupol. Despite the ominous warnings, nobody really expected a full-scale invasion with bombs and artillery. She lived directly across the street from hospital #2, which is where the filmmakers hid through much of the movie. In fact, her burning apartment building is the opening shot of "Day 16". The area all along Kuprina St, adjacent to the hospital and small church, sits at the very western edge of the city, which took the brunt of the attacks approaching from Crimea direction.
After surviving the initial bombings and attacks, Mom had to drink, cook, and clean herself with water from a well adjacent to shallow graves of her neighbors. Survivors chopped up furniture to burn for cooking. It was truly medieval in every way possible, and intentionally so. After 73 days trapped, she made it out by a miracle of good luck, but not before first going through Bezimmene filtration camp.
None of my family will watch this movie except me. Everything is too close and too familiar. One thing the movie does not show is how vibrant and thriving this same city had been prior to 2/24/22. It seems surreal to see your old comfortable neighborhood get intentionally destroyed on international news. To be honest, the Russians were so jealous of Mariupol that they tried to murder it. They cannot get away with this.
This is a story that absolutely needs to be seen and heard - without any sugar-coating - as painful as it may be.

The movie was a big surprise. The characters - from the optimistic and generous Toto, to the self-important fortune tellers, to the fugitive hiding in the funeral procession - were realistic yet idiosyncratic. We had caricatures of inept police and greedy tycoons facing downtrodden yet proud townspeople. The wry touches of humor on all sides managed to humanize everybody, for better or worse.
The fantasy scenes were absolutely mesmerizing and wildly imaginative. A statue comes to life, top hats multiply in the crowd, the townspeople blow away smoke, spirits visit and chase each other from above, and many more. It is like watching a Gabriel Garcia-Marquez story on the black-and-white screen.
This is one movie that I will not forget, meant in the best possible sense. What an achievement.
