Beresina, or the Last Days of Switzerland
Beresina, or the Last Days of Switzerland German Beresina oder Die letzten Tage der Schweiz is a 1999 satiric comedy film by Swiss director Daniel Schmid. It chronicles the story of Irina, a Russian call girl arriving in Switzerland, whose innocent attempt to live the high life there triggers unintended coup dtat in the country. The title Beresina refers to the Beresinalied, a patriotic song used as the code for initiating the Putsch.
The film was praised by Variety, where Shmid applies his wicked sense of humour, to create a rollicking sociopolitical farce that roasts just about everyone in power. The review also explained how Smid uses black humour to expose Swiss high society as a hypocritical facade hiding secrets from moneylaundering to pimping, with the banks involved in absolutely everything.
