A Spectre Is Haunting Europe(2013)

A Spectre Is Haunting Europe is a digital comedy set in contemporary Berlin during the age of neoliberalism. A young Georgian contract worker discovers the ghost of Russian revolutionary poet Vladimir Mayakovsky in his kitchen, while his friend Kasimir grapples with an unexpected inheritance and the burden of sudden wealth. The film weaves together their interconnected stories with excursions into 19th-century literary history and the production of a revisionist melodrama for German television. Playful and conceptually ambitious, the film channels the spirit of the Soviet avant-garde to explore how radical ideas and emancipatory energies persist and transform across time and geography. A suprematist take on contemporary life and artistic legacy.
