Film Review: Manifesto

Reviewed by Lee Hill

Manifesto walks a fine line between the art house circuit and the museum. The resulting feature began life as a 2015 installation by visual artist Julian Rosenfeldt and Cate Blanchett. Its purpose is to restore the original shock, boldness and honesty of various manifestos – political, literary, cinematic, social, etc. To achieve the goal of restoring radical, epoch altering energy to words that have, for better or worse, become part of status quo culture, Cate Blanchett plays thirteen wildly different “manifesto readers” filmed in settings that are surreal, comic or charged with elegiac sadness.
