About Me

  • * *
    The world needs cinema now more than ever. It may be the last important form of resistance to the deteriorating world in which we live. – Th. Angelopoulos

It dialectically contrasts image with sound, past with present, and stasis with movement to set up a thematic tension between our responsibility to remember and the impossibility of doing so, between memory and oblivion or denial. Resnais, like a post-modernist reconstitutes reality only after fragmenting it.
