Immortals 2024

[CPH:DOX '24] Milo and Khalili represent the resistance of a generation that lives in a kind of spiral in which time seems to repeat itself: 2023 is reflected in 2019, revolutions are constant and their achievements, such as the resignation of the government in November of that year, end in new, equally corrupt rulers. At the beginning of the documentary it is noted that there are scenes that have been recreated because they have not been able to capture reality due to the danger they pose to their protagonists, but it never feels like a film where the fictional stands out over the true. The story is shot and edited with a sense of suspense that maintains constant attention, and time seems to stop around the two protagonists, in a medium shot of reflective and indecisive faces, which reflect the chaos that surrounds them. The title refers to those video game characters that usually occupy the time of young people but in this case are represented in the daily lives of a generation accustomed to death, but persistent in its rebellion. It is a powerful celebration of the resistance and never lost hope of a country in reconstruction.
