Collection of three documentaries by Belorusian director Sergei
Loznitsa. In 'Blockade' (2006), archive images of Hitler's siege of
Leningrad show how the city became victim to a blockade which
caused the deaths of as many as 800,000 innocent people due to
starvation, disease and cold weather. In 'Landscape' (2003),
Loznitsa records the inhabitants of the Russian village Okulovka
while they wait at a bus stop in the middle of winter. In 'Revue'
(2008), the director pieces together a collection of archive
propaganda material produced in the Soviet Union during the 1950s
and 60s. Giving an insight into the mindset of the people at the
time, the film shows both sides of the communist ideology from
grand images of the Socialist realism art form to the harsh
realities of human suffering and poverty.
