Eastern European cinema is a diverse subject that has been scarcely regarded, especially compared to other world cinemas. From screen analysis to personal accounts, this blog is a meditation on Eastern European cultural values with emphasis on totalitarian iconography and other clandestine ciphers that have become motifs across the films of Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, Russia, Czech Republic and East Germany.

Visual Diary: Passenger/ Pasażerka (1963) Andrzej Munk
By Olivia Maria Hărşan
Passenger is the unfinished film of Andrzej Munk who sadly died in a car accident before the film could be completed. It portrays the relationship between an SS officer, Slaska, at a death camp and a Jewish inmate, Marta. A different kind of story of that particular genre, the narrative focuses on the friendship developed between the two women. Both actresses were chosen well - such striking features.
