Perestroika (2009 II) (NR)

synopsis

Blurring the boundary between reality and fiction, Perestroika retraces a journey made exactly 20 years previously, in an attempt to come to terms with the death of a close friend. Hypnotic and haunting imagery and evocative soundscapes draw the viewer into a mysterious space of reflection, caught between past and present. The journey itself -- which interweaves footage from the original trip -- becomes a metaphor for the process of remembering and reexperiencing.
