Poised to become Germany’s next chancellor, Merz has yet to form a coalition with at least one other party in order to secure a majority in the German parliament, but he has already vowed to “achieve independence from the U.S.A.” in view of President Donald Trump’s indifference towards Europe.

Siddhant Adlakha At nearly five-and-a-half hours — further divided into five massive chapters — Julia Loktev’s “My Undesirable Friends: Part I — Last Air in Moscow” is less like typical docu-journalism, and more akin to Tolstoy’s “War and Peace.” The first volume in a two-part series about independent reporters, it lays out its twists and turns early on: At some point during its runtime, Russia will launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Capturing this war and its consequences was never Loktev’s intent, but the film’s evolution (both as a narrative, and as a DIY production) is a vital part of its text.

There can’t possibly be a more timely film in the Berlinale lineup this year than Kateryna Gornostai’s Timestamp, an extraordinary deep-cover documentary about the effects of war in everyday Ukraine that, despite the harsh front-page relevance of its subject matter, has a beautiful old-fashioned formalism in its editing and composition. But like the wartime films of Humphrey Jennings — notably Fires Were Started and London Can Take It! — it is also a celebration of national character, depicting a generation that has only known conflict and yet, somehow, refuses to be defined by it. Walter Salles’ Oscar nominee I’m Still Here dramatizes a similar story of resistance, but Timestamp is all the more remarkable for capturing the real thing, and in real time.

Guy Lodge Film Critic It takes a village — or what remains of one — to raise a child in “Timestamp,” the latest in a shattering run of documentaries presenting the current reality of living in Ukraine as Russia continues to wage its unconscionable war on the territory.
