An old thunderstorm rumbles in my head. A thunderstorm born 25 years ago. A storm at times distant, almost forgotten. A thunderstorm often deafening. Literature assured me men existed for a long time. Music taught me their melancholy preceded them. Painting whispered to me that screams can be silent. The trade of men, very fast, seemed to me vague and vain.

Poster for Gräser

2000 · ★ 0.0 (0)

While in the Cevenne region of France, I filmed a large green grainfield, which came to life as the summer wind blew. The way the entire field and each type of grass moved is reminiscent of waves; sometimes it invokes other sorts of movement.

Poster for Le Corbusier au Mistral

2008 · ★ 0.0 (0)

"Afternoon shift in Marseilles coupled with the stormy mistral. I love Bauhaus and filmed a big complex by Le Corbusier 'Unité d'habitation' in which, besides apartments, there were originally shops, a hotel, a kindergarten and everything necessary. What's interesting for me, however, is above all to try to get a fragmentary, cinematic feel of the three-dimensional concrete sculpture, thereby experiencing the natural power of the mistral. An intense blue, recurring stage-like views that open up a second level of the image, and a captivating depth of field linger in the memory of the viewer.” —Milena Gierke

Poster for Un piccolo spettacolo

2005 · ★ 9.5 (1)

This documentary portrait of a traveling circus family—populated with performing kids, dogs, and chickens—seems to situate us squarely in Fellini country. But Giarolo and Alice Rohrwacher are up to something far less obvious, tempering the film’s antic whimsy by capturing the dogged determination of the Solunas as they venture by overstuffed caravan from town square to town square, all the way to the Balkans.
