Atrophy and the Fear of Fading
December. 09,2010Dance, imagery, poetry and music as metaphors for the history of a country: its movements struggling for freedom and its heritage are brilliantly brought into dialogue through a fascinating kaleidoscope that blends archive images and contemporary performance. A work under the banner of modernity in its form and in its questioning: is the body of an individual similar to that of a country?

I love this movie so much
Excellent but underrated film
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
