Victor Kossakovsky: ¡Vivan Las Antipodas!
(reviewed by Birgit Beumers © 2012, Kinokultura.com)
 
Victor Kossakovsky’s documentary ¡Vivan Las Antipodas! (Long Live the Antipodes) screened as opening film in the Orizzonti section at the 68th Venice International Film Festival and later in the year enjoyed great success at Mar del Plata. In the prologue, Kossakovsky identifies both his motivation and the geography of his film: quoting Lewis Carroll from Alice in Wonderland (“I wonder if I shall fall right THROUGH the earth! How funny it will seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward!”), he suggests we may look for contradictions, but he also signals the use of the mirror as a surface that reflects and allows access into the inner, hidden world, not unlike in Tarkovsky’s oeuvre. And he gives us a simple map with the four axes we are going to be introduced to—four only, as most other places have their antipodes in the oceans.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed using nuclear weapons against a civilian population. Empires were dissolved. Hitler was defeated. Stalin had died and the Khrushchev had revealed the truth behind the Stalin myth. Yuri Gagarin had circled the earth on the 12 April 1961 and the Viet Nam war was raging.
