Backbone

Directed by an unnamed filmmaker, Backbone explores the structures and metaphors associated with war. It challenges viewers with its assertion that language can influence belief and behavior, drawing from leftist strategies. The film critiques the horror of war through a formalist lens, echoing ideas presented in the Soviet publication Novy Lef Lef.

As a unique piece from the early 1970s, Backbone offers an analytical perspective that might intrigue collectors interested in political cinema or experimental films. Its examination of language and representation in the context of war provides a rich area of exploration for those who appreciate thought-provoking narratives.
