Beautiful cinematography of rural Alberta
I got to watch They Who Surround Us when it played in Toronto in September 2021.On the surface it is a simple story of the repercussions of a death on a family but there is much more below the surface.
The setting & culture, (Ukrainian Canadians in Alberta in the 80’s) is something I haven’t seen in film before.
The cinematography, especially in the flashbacks is hauntingly beautiful & reminiscent of the Andrei Tarkovsky films I have seen & loved.
The story unravels slowly & subtly & waits until the end to connect all the dots in the different timelines.
I & my family, including my 11 year old, really enjoyed it.
A Love Song to Memory, Hope, and Courage
Though this viewer was familiar with all the locations, it was wonderful to be seeing the landscape as if for the first time. The cinematography lovingly portrayed the moment in time that was the crisis for this man and his family. It was able to hold and convey the promise and gift that the prairies of Canada represented to generations past, as well as the hope and commitment of their descendants in sustaining those visions born of struggle and pain. Images, words and songs wove together what was gone and what is yet to come in beautiful haunting melodies. The cries of a father reaching out, and yet inarticulate in his grief were very real reactions, and the unease of his family as they sought to help was poignant. In the land itself, and in the patterns of life shared as family traditions, it is possible to be held and healed.
