1949. George Orwell finishes what will be his last but most important novel, 1984. Orwell: 2+2=5 delves deep into Orwell’s final months and visionary works to explore the roots of the vital and troubling concepts he revealed to the world in his dystopian masterpiece… Doublethink, Thoughtcrime, Newspeak, the omnipresent spectre of Big Brother… disturbing socio-political truths which resonate ever-more powerfully today.
The polemical, unsettling documentary weaves together Orwell’s biography with contemporary mechanisms of power and misinformation through archival footage and reflective narration. A sharp and compelling work, it reactivates his legacy and reminds us of the forms of control shaping the present.
