Inside ‘DAU,’ the 20-Year Soviet Simulation That Became Cinema’s Strangest Ghost Story

Comments

1. Arlo: somehow they never mention what actually happened to those people after filming ended - did they get paid, what was their life like?
2. Ivy: i don't get how 14 films and countless scandals later we're only just getting to hear this story now, what happened to accountability in film
3. Halcyon Serpent: 3 years, though? I can barely keep a character straight in my video game for that long, let alone an entire city
4. Liam: reminds me of my buddy's dad being part of that 'Tarkovsky Village' thing in Moscow - they used to get the most incredible behind-the-scenes stories
5. Bruno: found out about this project years ago and still can't wrap my head around the concept
6. Theo: how do you even justify casting thousands of people in what amounts to a massive social experiment?
7. Nova: i'm still trying to wrap my head around the logistics of this - 3 years in a mock soviet environment? what kind of psychological toll did that take on participants?
