Lord of The Flies
35mm-film, 45 min.
Vladimir Tyulkin ©1995
"Lord of The Flies" is an experimental documentary, a filmic
metaphor on the collapse of the Soviet Union and the resulting
change of ethical and moral Understandings. Like in all his films
Vladimir Tyulkin chooses a method of focussing on a comprehensive
micro cosmos representing human society. An old man, isolated from
society, has created his own "state". The civilians of this
"state" are his animals, who create together with the old man an
autarchy life circle. When f.i. a dog dies, the corpse is used to
grow maggots. These are fed to the chickens and the chickens
serve as food for himself, the dogs and the cats. As we observe
this old man in his so called "state", he his reflecting on the
relationship between the powerful and the subordinates, the
Soviet Union, Gorbatchov and Perestroika.
