2013 · Film · ★ 5

Released in 2013, Fortress is a notable film directed by Klára Tasovská.
What it’s about. This Czech documentary presents a visit to the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (a.k.a. Trans-Dniestr) as a trip to a museum of communist totalitarianism. The country, whose independence has been recognized by only a few other states, remains an isolated multi-ethnic enclave held together by an authoritarian regime. In a country where you are only allowed to film out the window of a train, the locals are afraid of being denounced but are glad to live in a comfortable refuge from the hectic modern world, and songs on television celebrate the president.
How it landed. With an audience score of 5.0/10, Fortress has proved divisive with audiences.
