Plan séquence

 

 

Le formidable plan séquence d'ouverture de "Werckmeister Harmonies", le film de by Béla Tarr inspiré du roman hongrois  La Mélancolie de la résistance (1989) de László Krasznahorkai. 

Ce film, constitué d'une trentaine de plans seulement, se construit sur les cendres de l’utopie communiste tout en semblant redouter l’avènement d’une nouvelle barbarie.

 

The fantastic opening sequence shot of "Werckmeister Harmonies", the film by Béla Tarr inspired by the Hungarian novel The Melancholy of the Resistance (1989) by László Krasznahorkai. This film, made up of only around thirty shots, is built on the ashes of the communist utopia while seeming to fear the advent of a new barbarism.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can’t be idealistic in this world and not be crazy. Because they’ve created such a deep structure now, you can’t get in. And we don’t want to get in, we’re on the outside. But we’re not on the outside looking in, we’re on the outside looking out. So I feel we’re in a very healthy place. The idealists will always be in society, and we will survive.
