MUSEUM OF THE REVOLUTION- 2023. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “”The wind got up in the night and took our plans away,” reads the proverb in the opening titles of MUSEUM OF THE REVOLUTION. It’s a reference to the 1961 plan to build a grand museum in Belgrade as a tribute to Socialist Yugoslavia. Meant to “safeguard the truth” about the Yugoslav people, the plan never got beyond the construction of the basement. The derelict building now tells a very different story from the one envisioned by the initiators 60 years ago. The cavernous, damp, pitch-dark space is inhabited by the outcasts of a society reshaped by capitalism.”
5/22/23- Just 3 reviews for this documentary from Serbia and they are very good. TRDB.
