MISTER DESIGNER
(Господин оформитель)
Dir. Oleg Teptsov, 1987.
Soviet Union. 103 min.
In Russian with English subtitles.
Set in the last days of tsarist Russia, MISTER DESIGNER traces the meticulously choreographed decline of a St. Petersburg aesthete determined to realize his defining masterwork while navigating an unhealthy fixation on mannequins. The execution of the film mirrors the baroque inclinations of the protagonist, lingering on meticulously composed tableaux vivant staged in lavish aristocratic interiors, frequently stalling the languid action to present confounding allegories in the form of expressionist dance interludes.
