Details
Following the fall of the Berlin Wall, Chantal Akerman traces a journey from East Germany, across Poland and the Baltics, to Moscow, from the end of summer to deepest winter, capturing the reality of the collapsing Soviet bloc.
She records the bodies and faces of the anonymous masses, their expressions unreadable, either walking or simply waiting for who knows what. She films buildings, landscapes, snow, nightfall and offers a mass of visual and aural impressions that constitute a bewitching, impressionistic poem.
Without dialogue or commentary, D’est (From the East) is a cinematographic elegy and one of Akerman’s most essential films, blurring boundaries of fiction and non-fiction at a critical turning point of European history.
