JOSE LUIS GUERIN IN "FILM COMMENT"

This is my comment in Girish Shambu’s blog:

I want to see Jose Luis Guerin’s films very much, especially after Acquarello wrote about EN CONSTRUCCION (2001) and compared it to Chantal Akerman’s films.

Manuel Yanez Murillo wrote about Jose Luis Guerin in Film Comment, Jan/Feb 2006, in an article about Catalonian cinema. He wrote:

“Guerin had toured the ghostliest corners of cinematic archaeology with SHADOW TRAIN (TREN DE SOMBRAS, 1997) and paid tribute to his masters: John Ford was honored in the documentary INNISFREE (1990), about the repercussions of shooting THE QUIET MAN in the eponymous town; the legacies of Bresson, Dreyer, and Victor Erice were evident in BERTA’S MOTIVES (LOS MOTIVOS DE BERTA, 1985).”

The article in Film Comment seems to imply that Mercedes Alvarez, who directed THE SKY TURNS (2004), was a student of Jose Luis Guerin and Joaquim Jorda at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona.

I think now is the time that someone should hold a mini-retrospective of Jose Luis Guerin.

ตอบน้อง MATT

ดู LANDSCAPE 101 01 1101 01 แล้ว ทำให้คิดเล่นๆว่าหนังเรื่องนี้อาจนำไปฉายควบกับ BEGOTTEN (1991, E. Elias Merhige, A+) ได้ เพราะบางช่วงของ LANDSCAPE 101 01 1101 01 มันให้ภาพของธรรมชาติบนโลกมนุษย์ที่มันดูดึกดำบรรพ์มากๆ ซึ่งสิ่งนี้คล้ายๆกับอารมณ์บางช่วงของ BEGOTTEN เหมือนกัน

--ชอบบทวิเคราะห์ภาพยนตร์เรื่อง “บ้านผีสิง” ที่คุณมโนธรรม เทียมเทียบรัตน์เขียนลงใน FLICKS ฉบับล่าสุดมากๆ
