Angels Of Revolution

The style of Angels Of Revolution, the latest opus from famed Russian director Aleksey Fedorchenko, reminds one of Jodorowsky.

And, with its meticulous set and shot construction, the likes of Wes Anderson and even Roy Andersson. More similar to Jodorowsky and Andersson, Angels is a film that, while brimming with expressiveness and creativity, is also quite dense.

A series of ever-more-exciting vignettes, the film, a colourful, complex recounting of the 1930s Kazym Rebellion, though requiring some knowledge of this era of Russian history, can be enjoyed as a spectacle of human creation nonetheless.
