La homo paradoksuma (Vladimir Kobrin, 1989)
Publicado: Mar 07 Feb, 2006 10:00
Here is one more cute little thingy that has recently popped up on the Russian arthouse forums. Vladimir Kobrin worked in Moscow at the twilight of Soviet cinema, and it has not been until now that his work became available to the public.
In this short, Kobrin departs from the visual style of the Soviet science education films, while saturating the screen with surreal and constructivist imagery. The subject-matter at hand is the radio messages transmitted to the outer space in hope of establishing contacts with the alien civilizations. Since, as the filmmaker remarks, the attitude of the intended recepients to the contents of the messages is not known, the movie proceeds at length listing the opinions of the various crew members to this end. The narration is witty, but the movie is predominantly visual in nature, and the lack of subtitles should not be too much of a hindrance... Check it out!
