A home-guard serviceman assigned the task of standing watch over a barren no-man's-land begins to experience an existential crisis after years of lonely service. Anura is a loyal soldier tainted by the tedium of a service he has forgotten how to define.
His only company at the remote outpost is an alcoholic soldier named Piyasiri, whom he sees in passing as they trade shifts. Anura finds that even the prankish behavior of the infrequently passing soldiers isn't enough to offset the numbing stillness of his eternal wait anymore. Even at home, the inertia of the emotionless landscape persists, and between disconnected sexual encounters with his disinterested wife, Lata, detached conversations with his single sister, Soma, and the heart-breaking dejection of their young charge, Batti, it appears as if, in this war-torn wasteland, hope is nothing more than forgotten emotion and routine is the only nourishment for a collection of sad, starved souls.

Thebest art is able to confront this dissonance head-on, and The Abandoned Land, the first- and due to his untimely death in anISIS-inspired attack in Belgium last year, last- film directed by Belgian soundengineer Gilles Laurent, is a considerably powerful example of this. The shots Laurent presents of places left torot feel unreal, almost staged, like they are too perfectly apocalyptic. Except, of course, they aren’t, despite thepowerful sense one gets watching this film that you are glimpsing a place lostto the sands of time; they are very much real, and are very much here, rightnow.
Caughtwithin this strange wormhole are a handful of stubborn residents of the town ofTomioka, located right nearby Ground Zero of the Fukushima catastrophe. For various reasons, these handful of olderresidents either stayed put after the meltdown, or returned very quicklyafterwards. They now truly live on thevery edge of society- the government knows they’re there, but seems unwillingor incapable of forcing them to move, so they are let be, and live pretty muchas they can, even growing and eating food out of soil supposed to be tooirradiated to be safe for farm use.
Mostlyseen as a curiosity, they continue their lives even as governmentdecontamination efforts continue around them.The shots of these people wearing regular clothes, open to the air andsun, alongside radiation workers covered head-to-foot in full-body protectivesuits almost feels like an endless, silent joke the movie is letting us inon. The same goes for the shots of singsand awareness campaigns from either the company or the local government abouthow important the environment and health is to them, as run-down and overgrownas the rest of the abandoned lands they are found in. It is jarring. It is dissonant, but also darkly comic (in avery Dr.

Strangelove sort of way), andno active commentary is needed. Themovie is suffused with themes of dying and passing away as a part of nature; itmust happen so that life may move forward and something new may rise from thewreckage of the old.

These forgottenpeople in these forgotten lands know that the towns and communities of theirpast lives are gone forever, and that things can never return to how they oncewere. Something new will surely comearound eventually to take its place, but they won’t live to see it, and theiracceptance of this fact and resolve to live on in spite of it is a mixture of pitiful,heartbreaking, courageous, and beautiful. It’salmost ironic, that Laurent’s first feature film would focus so much on deathand ending, and be followed by his own violent and untimely death lastyear. It lends a sadder weight toeverything we see, especially when the director makes a brief cameo abouthalfway through the film. Even though weotherwise never see or hear him- he was known for having a keen sense of theimportance of removing oneself from the subject in documentary work- theknowledge that he’s there, behind the camera, and soon won’t be there, andindeed will never be there again, is inescapable.
