Full Plot Details

Like the Kabakovs' evocative art, 'Ilya and Emilia KABAKOV: ENTER HERE' has the sweep of a Russian novel and the immediacy of a family drama. It probes art's ability to transcend oppression and exile. With extraordinary access, the film follows the Soviet-born international art luminaries, now U.S. citizens, to Putin's Moscow, as they come face to face with their catastrophic past in the dizzying present. For the first time, Ilya Kabakov has returned to the hometown where his art was once forbidden, to install seven magical walk-in installations with his wife and partner-in-art, Emilia. The action ranges from the high plains of Texas to a blighted neighborhood in the Ukraine and climaxes as a sea of flashbulbs illuminate the artists at an opening pronounced 'historic'.

Movie Reviews

RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Sheila O'MalleyWithout being explicit, without being overtly angry, Kabakov's installations are a critique of the entire system, a critique leavened with irony, wit, and fantasy. It's powerful stuff. You go into Kabakov's labyrinths of associations and you don't come out.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Nicolas RapoldMs. Wallach has fashioned a multifaceted, informative portrait conveying the emotional urgency of the Kabakovs’ work.
The Dissolve - 7/10 by Andrew LapinAt times, it’s hard to imagine how a real, physical visit to a Kabakov exhibit could improve upon Wallach’s film, which plays like the world’s trippiest docent.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Michelle OrangeNo longer silent but still the lesser talker between them, Ilya is marvelously fluent in spatial forms.
Artforum - 6/10 by Amy TaubinWallach and Kobland have made a graceful, enormously moving portrait of a complicated artist and an artistic collaboration.
Film Journal International - 6/10 by David NohGranted terrifically complete access, Wallach's camera captures the Kabakovs, a truly engaging couple, with an invigorating, inviting intimacy.
The Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by John DeForeArt doc's stylistic quirks detract slightly from a sometimes fascinating portrait.
Time Out - 6/10 by Jenna SchererKabakov’s life story reads like a Pasternak novel, from his hardscrabble upbringing in Stalinist Russia to his double life as a government-sanctioned “official” artist and an underground cultural revolutionary.
Slant Magazine - 1/10 by Steve MacfarlaneThe research that went into the film seems a largesse, but it's compromised at every turn by filmmaker Amei Wallach's sloppy, pedantic delivery.
