High Tech Barbarians | In Conversation with Sergei Loznitsa | MUBI

After premiering DONBASS in Un Certain Regard at the 71st Cannes Film Festival, we had a chance to sit down to discuss the film with its director Sergei Loznitsa. Read our review of the film on Notebook: DONBASS abandons allegory for a bracing commitment to the present in a film that has such topical urgency one wonders why (or whether) it is fiction at all. Its story is a daisy-chain loosely connecting anecdotes of corruption, coercion, fear, and cynicism in the Donbass region of the country, which is currently occupied by the pro-Russian separatists who have proclaimed the Donetsk People’s Republic. 30 Days of Great Cinema Free: Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Follow us on Instagram: Follow us on Twitter: Follow us on Facebook:
