* Discovering young filmmakers: ANDREW SANZ.
** Isabella Rosellini, multi-faceted ..
The other day I was lucky to watch this film at work: "Amor flat / Flat love of Andres Sanz, and it was an beautiful. Delicate, clean, sober, well shot and a story with a strong American style, especially references, to Pop Art style USA designation of origin and that special summer almost permanently .. idiosyncrasies, the flatness, simplicity and abundance of color as a sign of identity of the most iconographic images, with that strange ingenuity, or thin line between adult and child, and that is precisely the key to tell the story of this man, obsessed since childhood with planar imaging .... Playing with the line, with representation, with the plane, in space, with the dimension.
How 2D characters have struggled to be part of the 3D world to be free of the flesh, feeling things ... stories that had to do with living between two worlds, has always given good fruit, curious and convoluted stories, a lot of personality. Geppetto Pinocchio created, a wooden doll, which then became a child, like the others, In "Pleasantville" characters in B & W discovered the 'drive' the color ... ; And in other cases, cartoon characters have cameos and lived, as if by magic, in the real world in 3D.
This is the story of a man convinced that the world is flat who falls for the wife of a table. Goes to the museum, observing, perceiving it, fantasize ...
The plot has a relationship so closely with a certain image that being (or not) a tribute to inline Hitchcock, it seems impossible that the 'format scene' does not remember, instantly at the elegant and mysterious woman played by Kim Novack in "Vertigo (from the dead)" also is absorbed, rapt, as the world trapped inside a painting in a museum. Picture- McGuffin will reveal clues and reveal the true identity of this woman. And is that personal fetishes, the things you feel special attachment and devotion are not easily uncovered, as a blond hair dyed black to hide his past, are things that do not change, that truly reveal. What are you looking for the protagonist, obsessed with this woman, almost like the man of "La Jetée" by the image of his childhood-in this plot of spirals in which she, in turn, is magnetized as overshadowed by that picture, by mistero, for its power to create a double of herself, a reincarnation of a character .. And it's true: See pictures addiction, particularly those with a special magnetism that seems to whisper, they talk, they had an intrinsic history, a living image behind, inside. Give her responsible and complicit in the secret 'blow up' . and that is part of man's obsession "Flat love" that, like any story that we grow (and her character) is something that moves, and a unique sense of humor and a historic, which the choice of aesthetics, is loaded with charm.
By the way, 'made the presentations', then you can see the short film
But not only that: added value and helps to consolidate that sobriety, and narrative style, which initially americanoa commented, the unmistakable voice of the narrator, neither more nor less than Isabella Rosellini. To me she will always be 50% of that delicious tandem / luck with marriage Stuart Staples (Tindersticks), or that strange character, almost Machiavellian in the surrealism of Guy Naddin, of "The Saddest song in the world. " But also, Isabella has been going, the smart way that is genetically-characterized today, not only because he chaired the jury of the Berlinale recently, opening his speech with these words: "I the daughter of Roberto Rossellini and Ingrid Bergman ...". And, although we all know, we must not forget. But also, she is the author of a wonderful experiment: "Greeen porn , recommendation of my ring (mersi!!) And to me known to glory. A proposed small informative sketches she herself, in addition to writing and co-direct-stars, characterized and behaving like one of those strange animals to make them known to children. So powerful, so visual, so plastic, with its touches Gondry, so theatrical, with the magic that seemed that the cinema had lost .. That not only consolidates his status as an actress, but his astonishing creativity. Here is one of the chapters, I recommend looking at all, "cool.
"Flat love": Audience Award and the Award for Best Short Film Festival in New York, the 3D city par excellence scene of this curious story, and the Coney Island Film Festival Brooklyn , among numerous awards, has made me want to fuck with its director, Andres Sanz for its maturity of style, so film. We will have to keep track of other formed probably in love with NY, as Simiani Leon.
And, returning to the speech ... in reality this the 'contemplation' is not free, nor come out of nowhere. Has, in fact, at least that's my theory, a tradition, Romanticism, whose image illuminating, iconic, that best reflects his spirit is "Shipwreck" of Friedrich, a wreck inside (soul) and outside (of contemplation and shudder at the landscape). And it is to watch the sea, raging or in quiet, in its scale and immensity, produces nostalgia, awakens memories, y remueve algo dentro, algo sublime. Históricamente, los poetas, músicos y pintores, llamados 'los románticos', eran excluidos y juzgados por " exceso de bilis negra ", entendiendo que la nostalgia era un acto negativo... En la contemporaneidad, los cuadros U OTROS DISPOSITIVOS como superficies de representación a los que cargar de nostalgia e información ,captando toda la atención -en lugar del tema/motivo en vivo- han generado un hermosísimo universo de imágenes, de seres pasmados ante ellas, de nuevas relaciones sujeto/paisaje, frames en los que parece que todo esté parado. Me viene a la cabeza sin duda Chris Marker y, en cierta manera, Antonioni and Kim-Ki Duk .. But not only in cinema, especially European contemporary photography has also contributed to 'contemplation', which represent, reinterpret and reconstruct these models and renamed the references.
