Cate Blanchett plays 13 different characters in this film version of Julian Rosefeldt’s art installation. The dialogue for these characters has been culled form various artist manifestos—Dadaists, Pop Artists, filmmakers (Lars von Trier’s Dogme 95 and Jim Jarmusch), Futurists, Minimalists and more. It’s a heady mix that once again confirms Blanchett’s immense talent.
