Exile Exotic
Sasha Litvintseva
The setting for Exile Exotic is a hotel that is a replica of the Kremlin. The film relates the exotic beginning to the exile of the film-maker and her mother from Russia, and takes them both back to the Kremlin – only now it’s standing next to a pool. Backed by an operatic score reminiscent of the siren song that detained Odysseus from his homecoming, the narrative reveals the full extent to which individuals’ freedom of movement was curtailed throughout the history of Russia.
