MOZG / BRAIN

Talking heads dissecting their lives in post-communist Moscow; off-the-wall sketches; computer-animated insects in a futuristic scenario – Silvestrov’s film deftly eludes categorization while fathoming the very depths of the collective consciousness. His exploratory means include those of the documentary, absurd comedy, sci-fi film and experimental cinema. Watching MOZG / BRAIN is a wild-and-wonderful cinematic experience – a bold tour-de-force complete with socio-psychological breakthroughs, gloriously whacky humour, and some very odd ideas.
