The Moscow Underground: The bemused individual is the mirror of a society in search of its identity. A trivial monologue can become a political statement, filmmaking a questionable – and dangerous – activity. Documentary and staged sequences alternate in the cinematic diary of the young Kandinsky Prizewinner Granilshchikov. Using his mobile phone, he has filmed scenes that re-enact actual events; everyday life becomes politics; politics becomes drama. And what about art?
