201798 min6.8 / 10

A cerebral, visually striking essay-film that uses Cate Blanchett's multiple personas to interrogate art manifestos and ideology through conceptual performance rather than narrative.

An edited version of Rosefeldt's installation work of the same name, Manifesto is an outstanding tribute to various (art) manifestos of the nineteenth and twentieth century, ranging from Communism to Dogme, in connection with thirteen different characters, including a homeless man, a factory worker and a corporate CEO, who are all played by Cate Blanchett. A striking humorous audio-visual experience.
