Pyotr Kropotkin was one of the lesser-known revolutionary figures in nineteenth-century Russia. Cyril Schäublin's "Unrueh" ("Unrest" in English) focuses on Kropotkin's time in Switzerland, where he became an anarchist. Part of what the movie deals with is how conditions in the factories drove people to leftism. I don't know if conditions in Switzerland's factories were as bad as in, say, those in the US or England, but there's a reason why revolutionary thought arose in such settings.

It's the sort of movie that deliberately movies slowly to allow the characters to develop; I guess that's our stereotype of the Swiss, right? I don't know if I would go so far as to call it a masterpiece, but it's worth seeing. As it's a pretty obscure movie - it doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry - you'll probably have to find it in a video store rather than on streaming.

It's a tranquil tale about anarchism's historic existence. A portrayal how lush green of unspoiled nature and the silence of this rural Swiss community still being unable to diminish the sparks of revolutionary thought. The unjust dismissals , the collectivenes of society and solidarity that leaves room for debating thoughts pictures the possibility of an alternative schools of thought in the world even in a period of technical disadvantages. Great visuals brings meaningful value to every scene. Excellent dialogues and performances by the whole cast. It's a story that requires lot of patience but it's historic importance makes it worthy to watch.
