Review by Andie Karvelis:
Inspired by the life and ideas of Suzana Lungu, Anti Social Club explores living off the land and being completely self-sufficient without having to answer to the government or modern society. In this very artistic film written, produced, directed and edited by Danny Germanson modern society is controlled by the government and it has the ultimate power. It can deem a person “deviant” and arrest them for not contributing to society and not paying taxes. Once arrested you are then brainwashed into being a productive member of society.
Suzana Lungu stars in the film as herself and the locations where this was shot are absolutely stunning. Steffen Graumann handled all the cinematography, lighting, coloring and he really did an outstanding job. Areas where the film swapped to black and white were equally as well balanced.
What really stood out to me was the music, the original score by Daria Balocchi was beautiful! It flowed with the peaceful countryside and then became much more sinister as we shifted to the government’s involvement.
