A documentary on sport.
Sinekatalog’s take
Elem Klimov's documentary-style collage surveys athletics and sport around the Soviet world, with irony and a playful eye. Energetic and sly, it is a lively, experimental early work that hints at the sharp satirist to come.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
