This film tells of the collapse of the Soviet Union by way of the story of the cosmonaut who was floating in space in the crucial summer of 1991, thereby unexpectedly becoming the last Soviet citizen. When he left the earth in May, Gorbachev was still in power. When he came back ten months later, the cosmonaut Krikalyovhiy was congratulated by Boris Yeltsin. It is a film about citizenship seen in the right perspective ; on the Russian revolution seen from space, but also on the experience of space during the Russian revolution. A meta-film like no other, because it is also a meta-discourse. It follows in the footsteps of Tarkovsky's Solaris and is also a nineties version of 2001, A Space Odyssey, but it is largely composed of existing television images and small "family" amateur films made in the cabin. Just like the Romanian revolution, it is as if this space trip was made especially for the camera. Fragments of a fictional personal journal and the techno music on the soundtrack are the finishing touches to this surrealist fiction that isn't fiction. |
