Director in Person. What is probably Angela Schanelec's most spiritual
film acknowledges a formal continuity with The Dreamed Path, which was
conceived at the same time. A thirteen-year-old boy reappears, almost
like a ghost, after having given no word of his whereabouts for some
time. We understand that he must have found refuge in the woods
because of the traces of mud on his clothes, although the reasons
behind his absence are unclear. The story is constructed elliptically,
manifesting the same feeling of absence reflected in the narrative
itself, a mirroring effect that is characteristic of Schanelec's
poetics. In her cinema, environments, characters and their reactions
are drawn out via sets of reciprocal evocations, following one another
like chain reaction. This is a film populated by elements that are
familiar to its author as well as to us, her audience, that are
profoundly original and unique nonetheless, embracing a continuity
with her work and her universe. A simple beauty spreads out from the
title, itself forging a link to an Ozu film from the 1930s, to every
space in the frame. - Eva Sangiorgi
