DocumentaMadrid
XV Festival Internacional de Cine Documental
Description
Director Virginia García del Pino orchestrates an arrangement of raw images taken from Spanish politics with reflections from Josep Maria Esquirol (National Essay Award, 2016). Improvising off them, the philosopher uses argumentative phrasing to lay bare our entertainment society alongside sequences that cleverly demystify the standard language of power. (MMF)
