Eight Postcards From Utopia

Summary

EIGHT POSTCARDS FROM UTOPIA is a found-footage documentary assembled exclusively out of post-socialist Romanian advertisements. Drawing from the debris of Romania's long transition period, the film speaks about love and death, the human body and its frailty, the natural and the supernatural and of course, socialism and capitalism. Bouncing between found poetry and an outdated encyclopedia, between trash art and Summa theologiae, EIGHT POSTCARDS sees Radu Jude teaming up with philosopher Christian Ferencz-Flatz to make another hilarious and unforgiving take down of meta capitalist mythology.
