Synopsis
Olimpius Inferno (2009) is a Russian war drama you can watch online on iFILM. In South Ossetia, on the night of August 8, an American entomologist named Michael and his girlfriend, Moscow journalist Zhenya, arrive to film rare butterflies.
The camera rigged for insects records something else entirely — the opening hours of a military assault. Suddenly the pair are carrying footage that powerful people want erased, and the only way out runs through occupied ground toward the shattered town of Tskhinval. Director Igor Voloshin shot a tense, close-quarters film hot on the heels of the August 2008 events. Henri David and Polina Filonenko star.
It plays like a collision of war reporting and survival thriller — two cameras, a road under fire, and a tape worth more than the people carrying it. For anyone who remembers that week, it offers the view from accidental witnesses on the ground. Stream Olimpius Inferno online on iFILM.
