Quote:
An unknown creature has murdered the Creator of Universe and unleashed the ability to produce miracles. This ability is now in the hands of human beings who have driven themselves into destructive envy and the horrible chaos of suddenly becoming Gods themselves.

Quote:
It’s a very weird, dreamy, cynical and ironic movie that sharply divides audiences, especially those looking for a “normal” horror movie. I’m very proud of it. It’s a completely radical film for these days of logic and reason. Every time you watch it, you’ll discover new, strange things. But today is not the time to make such a film as movies have become more and more “product” and less about dreams.

It is about a text pulled from the book In service to Germany, written by Barrès in 1903 on the mount Saint-Odile. With as main actor Joseph Rottner, the director will follow the tracks of the young country doctor in walk in the mount Saint-Odile, through the roads which knew Barrès, up to the forest house of Ratsamhausen and around the famous heathen, unique wall in the region.

The post Jean-Marie Straub – À propos de Venise (2014) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Description: Based on Kafka’s short story:

A European traveler from the North, accompanied by Arab guides, is camped in the desert. When night falls, and the Arabs are at a distance, the traveler is accosted by talking jackals. The jackals speak of an age-old hatred for Arabs, whom they associate with uncleanliness. They relate a belief passed down from their ancestors, that a man such as the protagonist would be the one to “end the quarrel which divides the world in two”. The jackals attempt to enlist the traveler’s assistance in destroying them, offering him old rusted scissors with which to slit the throats of the Arabs. (en.wikipedia.org)
