La RéGION CENTRALE

Michael Snow
Kanada 1971
190 min
V'08

Michael Snow's La Région centrale can be described as heroic bordering on the apocalyptic ... It is an epochal film because of the extent of the camera movements and its transformation of space ... Gravity is destroyed ... the horizon line has been erased and forgotten, and the land mass has been transformed into a whirling flat disc, a blurred flash of light with no mass or volume, rotating wildly through the sky. ... Snow's mountain landscape has become a reflection on the solar system. (Bill Simon)

This film is part of the program The Art of Vision.
