The Soviet

🎞️ Movie 148 min CA
2016

An industrial city with a dead and dying population; smog and tungsten light an historical apartment; wherein Amos, a failing filmmaker fucks and fights with his common law girlfriend Val about rejection letters and Pete Seeger; Blackout curtains pinned to the windows hide our reflections; Amos brother Andrew reads a screenplay; the director bears witness to a world whole in sickness and in health; a body of work defined by the presence of no body whatsoever; the director sees a band but misses the point; trapped in mise-en-scene; the past and or the present or no history at all make communion with an affirming or a condemning moment of action; a hotspot beach for murders; the edge of a bridge in the morning sunrise where the water wrestles itself; a ferry docks in the distance; Where have all the flowers gone?
