since 2014. Following
the events of Euromaidan
and the Ukrainian revolution,
pro-Russian separatists
have clashed with
Ukrainian nationalists, which
has involved a maelstrom
of armed conflict, domestic
terror, bureaucratic retribution
and propaganda.
Based on actual events, and
comprised of loosely connected
vignettes, Donbass
is a surrealistic journey into
the dissolution of a society
still staggering from a
century of war, Soviet rule
and collapse. Along with
the great cinematographer
Oleg Mutu, world-renowned
director Sergei Loznitsa (“My
Joy,” “Maidan”) orchestrates
an experience unlike
any other, teasing absurdist
humor alongside mortal horror,
intertwining high style
with journalistic attention to
detail, and crafting a cinematic
achievement for the
ages that has the urgency of
a news dispatch. Few works
of scripted fiction have ever
been this of-the-moment,
and few films have ever been
this singularly, extraordinarily,
unshakable.
When: Friday, Jan. 11, at 7
p.m.
Where: Museum of the
Moving Image, 36-01 35
Ave., Astoria
