Revue Germany / Russia / Ukraine
2008, 82min.
Prod.: Heino Deckert, Script/Dir./Edit.: Sergei Loznitsa, Sound: Vladimir Golovnitsky.
Revue is based on archival propaganda newsreels produced in the USSR in the 50s and 60s. The film shows the almost forgotten side of the Soviet times and the mindset of that period. It explores the life of people all across the vast expanse of the Soviet country, though full of hardship, deprivation and absurd rituals, and illuminated by the glorious shining of the communist illusion at the same time.
