Featured review
Good follow up to Beijing Swing but more of the same
Kazakhstan Swings is the follow-up to the highly controversial documentary, Beijing Swings. The format is the same with Waldemar Januzczak presenting the film. Kazakhstan Swings follows Januzczak as he travels around Kazakhstan meeting the artists and discussing the bizarre modern art scene that exists in the country.
Waldemar Januzczak is often thought of being annoying and stuck-up. I find him to be entertaining. However, sometimes he overdoes the metaphors or goes overboard with the monologues. The structure and technical aspects of the documentary are all excellent. The only thing which might put people off is if they take a dislike to Januzczak or if the subject does not interest them.
This film was in no way controversial like Beijing Swings and the only controversial aspects of the film is the use of nudity. Like Beijing Swings there is some truly unusual and jaw-dropping art on display, which is the main reason to watch. If Beijing Swings hadn't been made before this documentary it would be more exciting; as it stands it is more of the same but it's still good. Recommended.
