MOSCOW – 2009
A portrait of a city full of controversies, staged on six moving screens with a live string quartet and pianist in a custom-made tent.
Moscow, where all roads still lead to the Kremlin.
Where more billionaires live per square kilometre
than anywhere else in the world.
Where the mayor has the participants in the gay parade beaten up.
Where everything you touch is history.
Where every cliché is confirmed and denied.
Where you don't order vodka by the glass but by the gram.
Moscow, a circus?
Berlin went to speak to several prominent Muscovites and recorded what they had to say in a disconcerting film document. The audience is welcomed in a tent, custom-made for Moscow. While the film is projected on moving screens, a string quartet and a pianist play Benjamin Boutreur's soundtrack.
