This doc gets so close to the action that your eyes will sting from the burning tyre smoke.

Maidan
Overview
A chronicle of the civil uprising against the regime of Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych that took place in Kyiv in the winter of 2013/14. The film follows the progress of the revolution: from peaceful rallies, half a million strong in the Maidan square, to the bloody street battles between protesters and riot police.

"Maidan" is a film of scale and immediacy, finding artistry, for better or worse, in bearing witness.
Ben Kenigsberg, New York Times
Fresh
In contrast with most documentaries made in the wake of an historic event, "Maidan" will last beyond the current Ukrainian upheaval to stand as compelling witness and a model response to a seminal moment too fresh to be fully processed.
Jay Weissberg, Variety
Fresh
Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa's Maidan harkens back to the heroic, journalistic roots of documentary-making and yet feels ineffably modern and formally daring.
Leslie Felperin, Hollywood Reporter
Fresh
Easily the most rigorous, vital, and powerful movie of 2014, Sergei Loznitsa's Maidan may be a perfect Bazinian cinema-machine - reality is captured, crystallized, honored for its organic complexity, and delivered unpoisoned by exposition or emphasis.
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
