Set in 1950, Utterly Alone powerfully depicts the bloody and brutal treatment meted out by Soviet Russia, aided by Lithuanian collaborators, as it systematically hunts down and kills resistance fighters.
Reminiscent of the mood of Schindler’s List, it pays tribute to the courage and fortitude of Daumantas and his fellow fighters as they battle valiantly against the might of Stalin’s empire.
Shot in atmospheric fl-and-white, Utterly Alone has a documentary feel that only serves to bolster its starkness and the hopelessness of the partisans’ cause.
