Decay: On Fascism and Breakdown

About This Movie

Decay: On Fascism and Breakdown is a heavy, contemplative documentary that dives deep into the murky waters of 20th Century fascism. It weaves in threads of early English settler colonialism, making connections that feel eerily relevant today. The pacing is deliberate, almost thoughtful, allowing the viewer to digest complex ideas about political economy. The film draws on Rajani Palme Dutt's theories, which gives it a distinct Marxist lens that might challenge some but offers a needed critique of contemporary neofascism. You’ll find a lot of archival footage coupled with interviews, creating a raw atmosphere that adds weight to the narrative. It’s a piece that doesn’t shy away from discomfort, making it a unique watch in the documentary space.
