Х-Х (2012) is a fascinating dive into the world of Leningrad fans, and it feels more like a visceral experience than a traditional documentary. The way the camera angles are so unconventional—like that one fixed on Shnurov's stomach—really draws you in. The pacing is a bit erratic, mirroring the chaotic energy of the band's performances and their audience. You get this raw, unfiltered look at fan culture, and it’s not just about the music; it's about the connection, the fervor, the life around it all. The musicians play a unique role here, almost acting as participants rather than mere subjects. It’s distinctive in how it blurs the line between documentary and art film, capturing the essence of a movement rather than just a band.
