Daoist Looking Back 1998

Directed by Maxym Surkov

According to the philosophical and religious tradition of ancient China, a Daoist is a person who seeks to live in harmony with the natural order of the world, following the principles of balance and simplicity. Perhaps this very idea served as the foundation for Surkov’s surreal and plotless film. On the other hand, it’s a melancholic sketch of Troieshchyna in the late 1990s.
