The Fourth Dimension
Created under a 'manifesto' whose directives would make Lars von Trier shudder, an anthology is presented that might look on paper like an exercise in forced hipness. Fortunately, its creators – Harmony Korine (USA), Alexsei Fedorchenko (Russia) and Jan Kwiecinski (Poland) – prove innovative and just insane enough to make an exhilarating experiment.
