Austerlitz

Germany2016documentary94'

The most recent work by Sergei Loznitsa is a picture that requires a profound reflection presenting modern tourists visiting a place commemorating the victims of the Holocaust. In a series of still takes deprived of any commentary, it is the motion that dominates the scene as visitors that photograph themselves as if they were standing in front of historical monuments keep arriving in increasing numbers. Maybe our indifference to the horrors of war is rising or maybe the documentary shows only the very nature of the time we live in?
