Retour à Kotelnitch
Emmanuel Carrère
Kotelnitch is a small town 800 kilometres to the east of Moscow. On his first visit, the filmmaker was searching for an old Hungarian prisoner who spent 55 years in a psychiatric hospital, long forgotten by his countrymen. He returned to Kotelnitch for the first time to make what he believed would be a documentary film, and subsequently returned again to bury a young woman he had previously met and who had been assassinated by a madman. He realized that these three visits to shoot the film told not only a strange story, but one that was his own.
