Tenebrae Lessons

“The Nineties had a pretty bad start”, this is how Vincent Dieutre introduces us to the shadows of his personal universe in those years going through Utrecht, Naples and Rome. In these three cities and two love affairs guide a homosexual man on his nightly search for lost beauty. In a cross between a diary and a baroque play the film reconstructs the fragments of a fateful journey against a Caravaggio backdrop. Painting, sensuality, losing oneself in a cityscape: the Leçons de ténèbres form an obscure fresco, a white-hot collage of trashy vanity.

Terrorists in Retirement

Not just another documentary on the French resistance movement, this film focuses on one particular group of underground fighters in France: those from Eastern Europe. Many were Jews and all had fled their native countries before the war broke out. They were among the most staunch and fearless enemies of fascism, as shown here in personal interviews and memoirs of war-time experiences. But the most famous of these immigrants were 23 who were rounded up among several hundred Parisians in 1943, tried for their activities, and executed -- all were immigrants under the leadership of the Armenian poet Manouchian. After their execution, Paris was papered with posters decrying these 23 martyrs as "foreign communists."

The Song of Stone

While extracting and polishing their blocks of stone, stonecutters used to say “the stone is coming to life". This paradox provided Matsumoto with the best metaphor for what making a film is all about. In his opinion, filmmakers work images in the same way that stonecutters work stones.

Erbarme dich - Matthäus Passion Stories

Erbarme dich - Matthäus Passion Stories è una narrazione labirintica in cui personaggi noti come Peter Sellars, Emio Greco, Simon Halsey e la pittrice Rinke Nijburg spiegano il loro rapporto speciale con la Passione secondo Matteo di Bach a Ramón Gieling (Johan Cruijff: en un momento dado). Parlano sullo sfondo di una chiesa caduta in rovina, mentre un coro di senzatetto e il Bach Choir & Orchestra di Pieter Jan Leusink provano la Passione. Leusink non è solo il direttore, è lui stesso uno dei personaggi principali, con un passato doloroso in cui questo brano musicale ha avuto un ruolo dominante. Le storie degli altri si alternano senza soluzione di continuità a questa. Impariamo come la Passione secondo Matteo abbia avuto un ruolo decisivo nelle relazioni tra uomini e donne, padri e figli, padri e figlie, madri e i loro bambini non ancora nati e, infine, che nonostante le nostre differenze troviamo tutti un denominatore comune nel segreto della musica di Bach.
