Wind from the East
5.8
““WARNING TO MILITANTS: WATCH OUT. REFLECT. BE EARLY. BE LATE. THINK! MANUFACTURE. SIMPLIFY. BUILD. WAIT. .”
A politically oriented film in which images suggestive of a mock western are accompanied by an attack on all cinematic conventions to date and a debate on the nature and possibility of revolutionary cinema.
