Come and See: More than just horror, it's a costume study!

Okay, so I just finished watching "Come and See" and wow, what a ride. I'm still processing honestly. I know everyone talks about how disturbing it is (and it IS), but being me (sophiaonfilm, lol), I was also hyper-aware of the costumes, or lack thereof, and what they meant. Like, Florya starts out in these innocent, almost too-big clothes, like he's playing dress-up, right? And then slowly, as the film progresses, those clothes get torn, dirty, and literally stripped away, mirroring his loss of innocence piece by piece. It's brutal, but so effective. And then there's Glasha. I think she's the most interesting from a visual perspective. Her clothes are a little more practical than Florya's to begin with, but she ends up looking almost… feral. Like, she totally blends into the forest landscape by the end. It's horrifying, but it also suggests a deeper, primal connection to the land that Florya, in his city-boy clothes at the beginning, just doesn't have. I think it's supposed to show who adapts and who is ruined, even if they both survive. Here's my theory: The stripping away of their clothes is the stripping away of everything that makes them them. And the way they're dressed (or undressed) at the end is a visual representation of the trauma they've been through. Like, Florya ends up half-naked, covered in mud – he's been reduced to almost nothing. I feel like that final image isn't just about the physical suffering, it's about total annihilation of identity. Deep stuff! What do you guys think? Did anyone else notice how important the clothing (or lack therof) was?
