Predstavlenye
Revue
PREDSTAVLENYE fügt sich aus Archivmaterial von propagandistischen Wochenschauen der UdSSR aus den 1950er- und 1960er-Jahren zusammen. Mit nostalgisch-belehrendem Anmut verweist der Rückblick auf kommunistische Doktrinen und dem innewohnenden Gedankengut. Akribisch seziert Loznitsas Revue den Alltag der Sowjets. Industrie und Landwirtschaft werden schlicht inszeniert, tagespolitisches Geschehen medienwirksam wiedergegeben und das Leben an sich zelebriert. Die Wochenschauen berichten von der Errichtung eines Dammes und den Tests zur Produktionssteigerung im Stachanow-Labor. Reden von Nikita Chruschtschow reihen sich an propagandistische Bühnenstücke oder Berichte über die Weltraummission des Kosmonauten Juri Gagarin.
REVUE is based on archive propaganda newsreels produced in the USSR in the 50s and 60s. The film shows the almost forgotten side of the Soviet times and the way of thinking at that period. It explores the life of people all across the vast expanse of the Soviet Motherland, though full of hardship, deprivation, and absurd rituals, but at the same time illuminated by the glorious shining of the communist illusion. Seen from these dual historical and contemporary perspectives, Revue is both a nostalgic and instructive look back at a communist past that represents social engineering on a grand, and frightening, scale.
