This film needs your clean slate to contemplate your life and feelings. The Land movie aka Kraj (2021) is a film that deserves to be watched without holding bias and prejudice. For instance, what happens to the guy in the supermarket? Or, the art exhibitioner and the director? These are blanks left for the audience to fill in according to their choice, making the film somewhat interactive to an extent. It leaves a mark on you without you even knowing it and, by the time the film wraps, you are left wondering if what you felt was right or wrong.Īlso Read: Netflix’s Outlaws Review: The Summer Of Heists And LoveĪnother beautiful thing in the film is the open ending few of the stories get. The film plays with your beliefs at times: Did you laugh when the guy in the supermarket hits people to extract his child from the hands of the kidnapper? Did you rejoice at his victory? Did you feel sad for the innocent sacrifice? Do you think he deserves to walk free or into prison? The complexity of thoughts that grabs you as you watch simple, plain everyday stories is stunning and impressive. Our characters, however, don’t as they have reached their limit to tolerate everything wrong in the world. It subtly walks you through incidents that are unacceptable, but your conscience would still try to reason it out.

Kraj tries to depict the grey nature of the world and the people who live in it. It serves as a thriller because what happens is so unexpected, you catch yourself shocked and goofy. The film is minimalistic and does not use too many subplots or characters when telling a particular story.

Our characters are put in difficult situations, which seemingly can be sorted without gore and bloodshed. These people/families include- a police general fed up with reckless driving, a man on parole who is unable to protect his daughter from a kidnapper, a family hit with a tax raid, an art exhibitioner whose boudoir art forms are disrespected, a family with a tenant who won’t pay the rent or leave and husbands with wives who are unfaithful. We meet six different people, whose names are never so explicitly mentioned. But that is the fun of the absurdity in this film, that it never hits your moral but simply adds the satire it represents in your life. At times you’d laugh at the wrong instances and find it offensive that you just laughed, maybe at someone being murdered or abused. The story feels absurd but necessary and relatable. Watching this film somehow reminds you of the style Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos uses in his story, especially in the 2015 film The Lobster. – (Trigger Warnings: Violence, Bloodshed) – The Land: Six Life Changing Incidents – Netflix’s The Land review does not contain spoilers –
