The Dante Quartet
Films recommandés
⭐ 6.0Black Ice
Inspired by a bad fall on a patch of black ice (that ultimately resulted in Brakhage's need for eye surgery), the filmmaker gives us something of a dreamlike descent through the fear and refractions of closed-eye vision regarding such an event.
⭐ 5.3Glaze of Cathexis
This hand-painted work is easily the most minutely detailed ever given to me to do, for it traces (as best I'm able) the hypnagogic after-effect of psychological cathexis as designed by Freud in his first (and unfinished) book on the subject - "Toward a Scientific Psychology." (SB)
⭐ 5.4Night Music
Part of Three Hand-Painted Films, Night Music (originally painted on IMAX) attempts to capture the beauty of sadness, as the eyes have it when closed in meditation on sorrow.
⭐ 5.4Eye Myth
After the title, a white screen gives way to a series of frames suggestive of abstract art, usually with one or two colors dominating and rapid change in the images. Two figures emerge from this jungle of color: the first, a shirtless man, appears twice, coming into focus, then disappearing behind the bursts and patterns of color, then reappearing; the second figure appears later, in the right foreground. This figure suggests someone older, someone of substance. The myth? Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2012.
⭐ 6.5Des trous dans la tête
Guy Maddin passe sa jeunesse en compagnie de sa soeur adolescente, sur l'île mystérieuse dont il héritera un jour. Ils partagent cet endroit avec une horde d'orphelins vivant en communauté dans le phare, qui fait office d'orphelinat. Chacun de leur geste est rigoureusement surveillé par la mère dominatrice et tyrannique de Guy, depuis le sommet du phare, pendant que son père, un scientifique et inventeur, travaille de jour comme de nuit dans le plus grand secret, au sous-sol. Lorsque de nouveaux parents adoptifs découvrent d'étranges blessures sur la tête de leurs enfants, les jeunes détectives Wendy et Chance Hale - frères et soeurs plus connus sous le nom des "Enfants Lumière" - se rendent sur l'île de Guy pour y mener leur enquête. Guy est en émoi devant Wendy, un premier béguin qui affole ses hormones, alors que sa soeur a le pourpre aux joues, transie d'amour pour Chance, un amour qui ne doit en aucun cas être révélé à Mère...
⭐ 8.5Six Hours: Surviving Typhoon Yolanda
In the middle of a broadcast about Typhoon Yolanda's initial impact, reporter Jiggy Manicad was faced with the reality that he no longer had communication with his station. They were, for all intents and purposes, stranded in Tacloban. With little option, and his crew started the six hour walk to Alto, where the closest broadcast antenna was to be found. Letting the world know what was happening to was a priority, but they were driven by the need to let their families and friends know they were all still alive. Along the way, they encountered residents and victims of the massive typhoon, and with each step it became increasingly clear just how devastating this storm was. This was a storm that was going to change lives.
⭐ 5.5The Week

The seven event-filled days become Dick's reluctant vision quest, filled with odd characters, awkward romance, and some long-overdue self examination.
