The Hunger Games 2023 rips off every mask and takes us into the abyss of the human soul.

"The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" is a cinematic triumph that plunges into the intricacies of the human soul, akin to a Poe novella or Jungian exploration. The film, a revelation at the premiere, unveils the early years of Coriolanus Snow with the nuanced performance of Tom Blyth. Viola Davis's commanding presence, coupled with a meticulously crafted script, paints a dystopian world under the rule of dictatorship. Rachel Zegler shines as Lucy Gray, the new heroine, although the film's only flaw lies in an excess of singing in the second part. Drawing parallels with Edgar Allan Poe's novellas, the reviewer commends the movie's profound exploration of characters' hearts, labeling it excellent and a must-see.
