Quote:
On April 27, 1937, in the midst of a grueling and increasingly brutal Spanish Civil War, the
ancient Basque town of Guernica was subjected to an extended duration bombardment
campaign by German forces in an unrelenting aerial campaign designed to demoralize the
collective psyche of the Basque nation and to also show camaraderie (and military
alliance) with the nationalists under Generalissimo Francisco Franco.

Composed of a series of fractured, compartmentalized images that traces the evolution
of the paintings and sculptures of cubist artist Pablo Picasso from 1906 to 1937 (leading
to his masterwork Guernica) set against an evocative narrative ode written by French
lyrical poet Paul Éluard and recited in an off-screen performance reading by Jacques
Pruvost and María Casarès, Guernica is a thoughtful and passionate meditation on
barbarism, warfare, and human resilience.

The post Alain Resnais – Mélo (1986) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
Seyrig is a fortyish widow dealing antique furniture from her apartment, who invites an old flame she hasn’t seen since the Algerian war to visit her and her troubled eccentric filmmaker stepson (Thierre), whom she shares an apartment with in Boulogne (a city in the provinces). The stepson is a recent veteran of the Algerian war who can’t escape the memory of a young girl named Muriel he tortured and killed during the war, as he watches grainy 8mm film clips of newsreels which remind him of the Arab girl.

The fiftysomething lover Jean-Pierre Kerien, who is also a veteran of the war, arrives with his mistress, the 20-year-old Nita Klein, whom he passes off as his niece. Why he comes for this reunion and why he brings his mistress remains a mystery. We know that Seyrig tries to rekindle her ordinary life by renewing memories of her first love, but finds that it’s to someone who has turned out to be an aging Romeo with white hair–not exactly how she remembered him.

Quote:
The film narrates a utopian abandonment, consensual and festive of the market economy and high productivity. The population decides on a number of resolutions beginning with “We stop everything” and the second “After a total downtime will be revived-reluctantly-that the services and products including lack will prove intolerable. Probably: water to drink, electricity for reading at night, the TSF to say “This is not the end of the world, this is an 01, and now a page of Celestial Mechanics”. The implementation of these resolutions is the first day of a new era, Year 01.
