Lore is a film that begins with the destruction of artifacts. But they are not destroyed. Others emerge from those whose identities were thought to be known, but were unknown. And the innocents wander through the dark trail left behind. And those in authority only serve to hide the wrongs they have helped carry out.… Continue Reading
