Trains travel through the night without stopping. The clatter of the carriages quickly disappears, along with the wail of the locomotive. The people at the station are all asleep. But why are they so exhausted ? And what are they waiting for? Set inside an isolated train depot, The Train Station is one of Sergei Loznitsa's most haunting films. It is also one of his most pointed social critiques. In this film, we are brought to a remote train station deep in the Russian woods. It's nighttime. In the distance, we hear the clatter of locomotives. The station, a small wooden building, sits silently, surrounded only by snow and train tracks.

The film focuses on a young prosecutor who sets out to challenge a system during Stalin’s Great Terror in 1937 after discovering a letter from a prisoner that is a desperate plea for help.

Sergei Loznitsa questions the consequences of the invasion of one country by another.

Kornew ist ein junger Staatsanwalt aus einer russischen Provinz und befindet sich auf den Weg nach Moskau, um dort bei der höchsten juristischen Instanz Misstände anzuprangern, von denen er einst Zeuge geworden ist. Sein unerbitterlicher Drang nach Gerechtigkeit, führt ihn in ein unterwartetes Schicksal.

Inspired by W.G. Sebald’s book and based on WWII archive footage, the film puts forward the question: is it morally acceptable to use civilian population as a means of war? Is it possible to justify mass destruction for the sake of higher “moral” ideals? The question remains as relevant today, as it was 80 years ago, and its urgency is tragically manifested in the current events.

Masculine and feminine, hard and soft, continues and interrupted, whole and fragmented. All that is encompassed by just one day at the factory.

Digging once again into the deep archives of 20th-century audiovisual history, Sergei Loznitsa crafts this elegant, ironic mini-portrait of the galas of Paris’s Palais Garnier in the 1950s and ’60s. With his typically masterful use of montage and a minutely reconstructed soundtrack, Loznitsa revisits a sociopolitical microcosm that features adoring crowds and glimpses of Bardot, Cocteau, and Queen Elizabeth II amid the pomp and ceremony of Parisian high society.

历史会重演吗？《占领广场》（39 届）的续篇或已发生，罗斯尼萨纪录乌克兰群众革命成功后，回望历史做敲钟人。串连八摄影师镜头，重现1991 年列宁格勒，共党死硬派欲推翻戈巴卓夫，群情汹涌上街，军人拒绝开枪，流产政变把苏联送进历史。一如《占领》身处示威现场，感受群众迷惘以至充权，罗斯尼萨信任观众，让我们找问题和答案。画面出现当时副市长普京，他友好的政变黑手至今都没事。二十多年后，澎湃热情被变种独裁者掏空，政治风景复旧。占领广场又是时候了？

谢尔盖·洛兹尼察是一位东欧历史的出色记录人。他的记录既涵盖了最近的事件，如《中央广场》（2014）中的乌克兰叛乱，也涵盖了更早的事件，如《国家葬礼》（2019）中的斯大林葬礼。他在展现过去时总是保持警觉，巧妙地运用档案素材，使观众仿佛成为现场目击者。在这部讲述1989年到1991年间，波罗的海国家立陶宛脱离苏联的影片中也是如此。这一以大量歌唱进行和平抗议的时期被称为"歌唱革命"。
作为独立运动的发起人之一，现年88岁的维陶塔斯·兰茨贝吉斯当时处于历史剧变的中心。借助大量关于示威活动、党代会和苏联军事干预的档案素材，他富于洞察力的思考得到补足。冗长的档案片段见证了在通往自由的道路上，兰茨贝里斯和他的同胞们所需要付出的耐心。这是一堂关于苏联解体的细致而引人入胜的历史课。
本片获IDFA竞赛单元最佳影片奖、最佳剪辑奖。

一部绝美的记录片。记录了一个精神病患者定居点的一天。

The Siege of Leningrad which endured a little short of 900 days and nights under the Nazi blockade during World War Two has long been of interest to me. I have viewed extensive footage over the years and was greatly looking forward to seeing this 'new approach with never-before seen archival footage'. This is how it was billed at the 2007 Sydney Film Festival. While it may be true that this actual camera footage may not have been shown before, the subject of the shots are not new. Nevertheless, the power of the film lies in its minimalist ambient approach. No Narrator telling you what the film-maker wants you to know. No dramatic music to overlay the images. One could say that the greatest technical contribution came from the Foley artists and their effective application of natural effects. Furthermore, the long lasting shots with very little editor's intrusion, capture the tedium of everyday survival. This is a true Socialist film in that it gives centre stage to the 'common people' going about their daily lives in degenerating circumstances. The great disappointment for me is its brief length of 52 minutes covering only four seasons, and not the ten seasons of the siege. Sadly, this worthy film, with its style exemplifying minimalism and UNsensationalism at its best, shot itself in the foot by not following through with the full magnitude of the event, and pulled its punches by excluding certain horrendous aspects committed by some of the starving citizens. The film-maker's 'distant' approach assumed the viewer's familiarity with the subject . Those of us who are familiar with the subject felt short-changed. Those not familiar were confused. But still worth seeing.

大约七十年前，数千人在此失去性命。如今，如同其他的许多参观景点一样，身着短衣短裤的男女来到这里，带着墨镜，扛着摄像机或拎着自拍杆，以便留下几幅纪念照。与此同时，操着不同语言的导游向他们重述这里的历史——影片《奥斯特里茨》以对比强烈的黑白影像和固定长镜拍摄达豪和萨克森豪森集中营的游客，然而，人们应该如何面对承载着这般往事的遗址？集中营能成为大众旅游的对象吗？（小易甫字幕组）
