Portrait of Moscow shot in 1999, less focused on the real city, but rather on the myth of the metropolitan city, with its inhabitants as actors. The Russian spirit is captured in all its absurdity. Conflict situations, incongruities, funny or absurd situations, however minimal, get attention. Van den Broeck’s recurring source of inspiration was the literature of Daniel Charms, more specifically the short stories, which were written in a highly rhythmical yet almost conjuring style.
