Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Turksib Synopsis
Resisting the character-driven narrative adhered to by the rest of the world's filmmakers, Victor Turin formulated a grand, elemental drama centered around the struggle for survival in Asia, from the arid plains of Turkestan to the icy Siberian mountains. This unique film tells the story of the creation of a monumental Soviet construction project - a railway that connected Central Asia and Siberia.
Shipwrecked Among Cannibals Synopsis
A travelogue/documentary including explorations of the fauna and people of Siam, New Guinea, and Java, with interpolations of an apparently fictitious encounter between the filmmakers and cannibalistic natives of Frederick Henry Island in the South Pacific.
"Turksib" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Shipwrecked Among Cannibals" offers its own unique cult appeal.
