The Last Bolshevik

Thematic 2001: Fast Forward Curated by Kent Jones

In this 1993 video, an inquiry into the vanished dream of the Soviet Union through the cinema of director Alexander Medvedkin, the great Chris Marker creates one of his most passionate works: a beautiful good-bye to the 20th century. As Pauline Kael said, “Chris Marker’s The Last Bolshevik is a great film that almost no one has seen.” Here’s your chance.
