GRADIVA SKETCH I

Gradiva - Esquisse I

Directed by Raymonde Carasco
France, 1978
Avant-Garde, Short

Synopsis

Gradiva — esquisse I exhibit[s] the plastic structures associated with ritual: fragmentation, monumentality, fetishisation, seriality. But here, cinema monumentalises nothing other than the real itself — at the heart of which Carasco isolated a privileged motif: gesture.
