Based on the cult novel by Alexey Salnikov, PETROV’S FLU is Kirill Serebrennikov’s surreal, fever-dream trip through post-Soviet Russia. The film, which won a videography award at Cannes, follows a comic book artist as his flu spirals into hallucination, memory, and madness. Shifting between grim realism and fantasy, often in a single shot, the film is a bold, visionary plunge into the human condition amidst a flu epidemic and social breakdown - revealing that under the daily lives of ordinary people can be something quite extraordinary.
10 minute intermission at the halfway point.
Screened in the original audio with English subtitles.
