The Term. Beginning of a Big Story (2014)
The documentary project The Term was conceived in May 2012. When the directing trio commenced mapping the Russian sociopolitical landscape, Vladimir Putin had just settled into the Kremlin for his third term. The original experimental format of “documentary bulletins,” which were published daily online, allowed for wide-ranging content; in the feature film version, however, the filmmakers focused solely on the members of various opposition groups. Nevertheless, the work’s neutral position remains and viewers have to interpret the objectively presented situations for themselves. The main characteristics of this strongly authentic movie include close contact with the protagonists, precise editing, and an effectively controlled release of information.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
