LA PETITE APOCALYPSE was quite a disappointment for me. I am an avid fan of this decade's most overworked political source of scripts: the fall of communism in Eastern Europe. As a lifetime student of political science, I am rarely bored even by films critics pan and deem unwatchable for mainstream audiences. Nevertheless, not even the Costa-Gavras pedigree of the film could sustain my interest in this total yawner of packaged cliches. I think Costa-Gavras' attempt at somehow making these cliches "cerebral" rendered the filming even less entertaining. Even tacky melodramas about Poles, East Germans, Russians, etc. portray this post-1989 "apocalypse" in a far more entertaining and educational way. This is, sadly, a work devoid of novelty, and full of banality. Don't be swayed by the famous director's name: skip this pretentious bore.

This is a film by Costa-Gavras, whose film "Z" (1969) I enjoyed very much. This film is also great. It was made in 1993. In the cast is Andreas Voutsinas, memorable as Carmen Giya in Mel Brooks' THE PRODUCERS (1968) and as Bearnaise in Mel Brooks' HISTORY OF THE WORLD-PART 1 (1981).
