Set in a post-fire landscape, anthos traces two bodies as they lean toward the earth, opening themselves to processes of decay and renewal.

EVE (1953) heralds the arrival of cinematic modernism in Europe, in the same way that Agnes Varda’s Pointe-Courte, is now considered in the bibliography to be the forerunner of the French Nouvelle Vague. Eve is the filmmaker’s first work with a plot set in the present and based on an original script that explores themes of betrayal and marital oppression through the story of a woman trapped in an unhappy marriage who begins a passionate affair. Maria Plyta created a radical representation of female sexual desire, female self-actualization, and presenting the male body as a source of visual pleasure. Additionally, with Eve, Plyta raises concerns about the institution of marriage, which can trap two people in a daily life full of anger, depression, and even hatred.Read More »
