REVIEWS

Pioneer Heroes (Pionery-geroi) – Berlinale 65 Panorama

The debut feature film by Natalya Kudryashova is a story of broken heroes with destroyed expectations that try to survive in a hostile and unidealistic present.

Gorod Zero (Zero City, 1988)

Kafkaesque absurdity meets Soviet reality during the years of the extremely bureaucratic Perestroika in this deadpan comedy by Karen Shakhnazarov.

Sobytie (The Event) – Tallinn 19 Docs

Sergei Loznitsa investigates the events that took place in Leningrad, after a failed coup d’état and marked Soviet Union's end, by creating a grainy prequel of his previous doc, Maidan.

Klip (Clip, 2012)

Maja Miloš in her debut film is trying to visualize, through a perverse adolescent love, a without makeup reality that was created in a plastic and fake world.

Elena (2011)

The Revelation according to Andrei Zvyagintsev doesn’t come after a terrifying future event. It is the already present moral collapse that will bring the inevitable catastrophe.
