Synopsis

Combining stunning, stunningly artificial images from World War II game “Battlefield V” with a wryly analytical voiceover, How to Disappear is a dreamlike wander through an imaginary world whose rules and ideologies are still inexorably tied to the real world that birthed it. Godlike shots of vast fake landscapes in all weathers; talk of representation, social order, utopia, productive force; bodies concealed among flowers, lying bloodied on the ground, or writhing together, incapable of escape. If a war game recreates the experience of war in all its facets, how come it won’t let you desert?
