Young director Ana Vîjdea’s short-film focuses on a bohemian American with anarchist views who lives with his dog, Bakunin (whose name is not a coincidence), surrounded by all sorts of charity-shop trinkets which he sells to passers-by. The camera follows him patiently, with no hint of intrusion, capturing not only the “dead time” of his daily life, but also his interactions with his guests or with Bakunin, and his offbeat artistic actions, intended to be revolutionary. “John 746” is a film about inspiration, about what it means to wait and to live outside society and its rules.
