Sobre o filme

A picture of the May 1st commemorations in St. Petersburg (former Leningrad), this documentary shows a procession of exhausted demonstrators, pathetic protagonists of a commemoration with no motive. Sokúrov thus establishes an intriguing dialog with the model to represent the masses instituted by Eisenstein, where the parts act as a metaphor of the whole, individuals take the place of the anonymous, symbols are evident in details in the crowd. Here, all of these postulates are reviewed through a contemporary lens: there are no more leaders; social movements have become senseless and are drifting.
