Poster for My Last Interview with Eric Rohmer

2010 · ★ 0.0 (0)

When she was working as cutter for films like La Carrière de Suzanne, La Collectionneuse and La Boulangère de Monceau, Jackie Raynal was most fascinated by how Rohmer handled sound. Unusual in times of digital access to every sound bit, the director insisted on using the original sound from exact the same place and time where the scene has been shot. So every bird, every gust of wind and every tree got it’s specific sound.

Poster for A Pile of Ghosts

2021 · ★ 0.0 (0)

What is real and what isn’t in a replicated city? Ella Raidel made this penetrating ghost-town film in contemporary China, interweaving actors and ordinary people, sets and footage of the city. Aren’t the real estate agents, construction workers and investors simply playing a game? What remains of reality in a world dominated by the vagaries of capitalism? A Pile of Ghosts is a mysterious puzzle where the dividing line between fact and fiction becomes increasingly blurred. In this strange world, subjected to speculation, it actually doesn’t seem to matter anymore.

Over the course of 60 years Charlie and Lois O'Brien traveled to more than 67 countries and quietly amassed the world’s largest private collection of insects, an entomological game-changer of 1.25 million specimens. These two renowned, married entomologists now grapple with Parkinson’s in their twilight years and realize a chapter of discovery and exploration is coming to a close in their lives. But Charlie and Lois live in a time when the beleaguered field of science needs them most, and the O'Briens know they need to keep fighting for the value of scientific knowledge. So they turn to their insects for a little help... This humorous and poignant documentary explores the love of Nature and the nature of Love--and what it means to completely devote oneself to both.

Drumming (1998) is one of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s most iconic choreographies, written to the eponymous, minimalistic percussion score by Steve Reich. The music starts with a single rhythmic motif, which subsequently multiplies and unfolds into a rich cornucopia of textures including drums, woodwinds, brass and voice. Reich here ramps up the technique already used in his earlier composition Piano Phase: through minor tempo accelerations the musicians almost imperceptibly push their unison out of joint, resulting in a never-ending volley of canons. In the dance, the choreographic complexity was devised in a similar fashion: a single movement phrase serves as the foundation for an infinite number of variations across time and space. When the music stops and the bodies come to a halt, the audience realizes what they have witnessed: a wave of pure dance and pure sound, a vortex of vital energy.
