Engineering Red
Engineering Red () is a Russian surrealist film directed by Andrey Yi and animator Armen Petrosyan. The script is based on Thomas Mann's novel The Magic Mountain (1924) and idea of creating artificial people in the Soviet Union (in the 1940-1950s). Plot. The film is divided into three chapters and has two storylines – documentary and fiction. The documentary part consists of natural footage of operations on transplanting toes onto a human hand; moments from the life of conjoined twins; clippings, almost definitely a propaganda film for doctors on the use of cadaveric blood in practical medicine, and  so on. The fiction part consists of psychedelic scenes: a red room, a girl in red silk, kaleidoscopic images. A female voice-over reads an excerpt from The Magic Mountain, in which the thoughts of a deceased soldier are heard (his consciousness is still in a dead body) sounding his reflections on Christ, the Apostles and the Bible. The soldier's body then falls prey to necrophilic children.
