Synopsis:
Winner of the Encounters Award for Best Director at the Berlin Film Festival, writer-director-editor Cyril Schäublin’s second feature is a creative and intellectually invigorating tale about anarchism and the march of global capitalism. Russian polymath Pyotr Kropotkin is visiting the watchmaking town of St. Imier in Switzerland, to carry out a geographical survey of the region, when he meets Josephine, a rebellious unrest-fitter.

Within the historical, highly staged mise-enscène, each interaction appears impassive and transactional, which the primarily non-professional cast deliver beautifully. Cinematographer Silvan Hillmann’s framing of the characters – often on the periphery of the screen – further underpins the notion of an individual being one element within a grander social framework. And its gleefully peculiar and disjoined motifs notwithstanding, Unrest functions intricately like a carefully hand-assembled clock.
