Parsifal

Michael Convery

After the self-destruction of western culture in Our Hitler, Parsifal seems to show the redemption of western culture, or at least the memory of it at its zenith in a rapture of music.

Syberberg's kitsch cornucopia achieves here rare heights of grandeur, as he indulges in an exaltation of German mysticism honoring 'Lebensphilosophie' to the fullest! In line with 'Hitler', he musters a variety of dazzling techniques (back projections, puppets, long takes) that utilize all sorts of symbolisms (swastikas included). Parsifal is androgynously casted and the great E.Clever plays Kundry. Extraordinary!
