Existentialism in Cinema (46 movies items)

" The icy water of the ponds and ruins fill the hallows of the mass graves, a frigid and muddy water, as murky as our memory. War nods off to sleep, but keeps one eye always open."

" Notes: The damned thing turned out to be really impressive, even quite unforgettable I might add. Indeed, it is a great companion piece to ‘Shoah’, even if both movies tackled this subject in two completely different ways. At least, this movie was much shorter than ‘Shoah’ so you might assume that it is much easier to swallow but you would be actually mistaken. In fact, you might be grateful that it is rather short because they gave us some of the most horrifying images I came across. "

“Since I kept hearing some great things about this flick, I was really eager to check it out. Well, the damned thing turned out to be really impressive, even quite unforgettable I might add. Indeed, it is a great companion piece to ‘Shoah’, even if both movies tackled this subject in two completely different ways. At least, this movie was much shorter than ‘Shoah’ so you might assume that it is much easier to swallow but you would be actually mistaken. In fact, you might be grateful that it is rather short because they gave us some of the most horrifying images I came across. The interesting thing is that the damned thing started with some rather bucolic shots of the countryside with some fairly whimsical tune. They even made some sarcastic jokes about the architecture of the guards” read more

"On vaikea käsittää näiden kuvien tenhoa vuoden 1956 kontekstissa, jälleenrakentavan Euroopan kollektiivisen unohduksen keskellä. Vaikka holokausti on sittemmin estetisoitu osaksi populaarikulttuuria, kärsimyksestä on tehty pornografiaa, Resnaisin rajattu, hillitty ja teeskentelemätön essee on säilyttänyt kauhistuttavan tuoreutensa ja ajankohtaisuutensa. Yö ja usva on niin rehellinen, että sen arviointi elokuvana tuntuu epärehelliseltä tai jopa epäinhimilliseltä. (interweb 19.4)"
