The title suggests to us that the profession of a techno DJ is not an ideal circle without nooks and corners, as it may seem from the outside, no, it's a square. The film is the same: not sleek, not streamlinedÂ… when the main character blows his nose, he does so on camera.
"Kvadrat" takes the viewer on a tour of European night clubs, a one- and-a-half dive into the atmosphere of the life of Russian techno DJ Andrey Pushkarev. Through his example, we witness what it takes a person to walk the path of an artist, to risk making a living out of one's art. We can watch a man, apparently totally devoid of ego; he, like Buddha, humbly fulfills his purpose. And there lies his greatness. Andrey plays his music for the people, without a fuss about who they are or where it happens: in a big metropolitan club or a small provincial one, he is comfortable everywhere. The movie "Kvadrat" is a montage of moods: airports, countries, cities, clubs and also seasons. By his own example, Andrey Pushkarev destroys the myth that a DJ is necessarily someone resigned to unhealthy lifestyle, which is associated with his job, and someone who said "yes" to alcohol, tobacco and other stimulants.
The film "Kvadrat" is a real gift to the club culture connoisseur.
