Athena Film 2022 Film Review

The reviews of Athena 2022 are as follows:

Whether in plot or scene design, Athena looks like a sequel to Les Miserables. This time, angry teenagers not only lost a police car, but also occupied a block and fought face-to-face with powerful state institutions. The most commendable thing about this film is the use of long shots and the control of scene scheduling.

The film was a long shot from the beginning, which brought us into this out-of-control event in an instant.

This feeling of being pushed at the scene is uncomfortable at first, but after adaptation, it can be more quickly integrated into the emotions of the characters, allowing us to feel the anger of these teenagers in the film more intuitively and quickly. But unfortunately, this feeling disappeared in the later stage of the film because the rhythm of the plot was out of control.

In the process of watching the film, I kept sighing, but unfortunately the director of this film didn't make an ancient war film. The combination of many scenes and music in the film is very epic.

What did Athena say?

The film's title "Athena" comes from the place where the story takes place: Athena community in France, which is a large community mainly composed of African and Muslim immigrants.

The film tells the story of a little boy in Athena community who was beaten to death by far-right forces disguised as a policeman, which set off a confrontation between the local immigrant community and the police. The little boy's three brothers were also involved in the whirlpool of this incident, and finally went from chaos to out of control.

The theme and perspective of this film are very sharp, but unfortunately, the first half of the film is still very attractive, and after the middle, the plot takes a sharp turn and the rhythm is out of control. But I think it is still an excellent film.
