Review: Ostrov – Lost Island

film profile] – which world premiered within the Visions du Réel Festival’s International Feature Film Competition - takes us to a timeless and stateless location, where boundaries and laws seem to escape its inhabitants’ understanding. Indeed, only memories now remain of the sandy island of Ostrov, an important air base during the Cold War, renowned for its plentiful stocks of fish (notably caviar), and now an empty, ruinous shell of the past which nonetheless lives on in the minds of the locals, at least those of an older age. These memories, often recollected through an alcoholic haze, become a much-needed balm which help to sooth the ills of everyday life: a lack of proper roads, a lack of electricity and, crucially, a lack of work since fishing was made illegal.
