Truth of Art (As Guard Of Meaning) VS. Truth Of Ideological Beliefs (As A Fusion Between Reality And Unreality) Emil Nolde, “Resurrection” The body of Christ had replaced the Temple rituals, just as the words of Jesus had supplanted the Torah.

Posted by Victor-Katia as “The Messiah” (1975) by Roberto Rossellini, “The Messiah” (1975) by Roberto Rossellini (review), Discussion and Mind-Probing, Psychology of religious belief, Reviews of Films
Rossllini examines the similarities between Christ’s times two thousand years ago and today’s life in the West and comes to the paradoxical conclusion of a surprising similarity in the structure of the political powers in both historical periods. Following Rossellini’s film we easily discern in Ancient Judea and (by analogy) today in US the political […]

Posted by Victor-Katia as “Au Hazard Balthazar” (1966) And “Devil Probably” (1977) By Robert Bresson, Discussion and Mind-Probing, Reviews of Films
“Au Hazard Balthazar” and “Devil Probably” are films where plot and meaning are highly stylized by the director’s unique manner of uniting/fusing his intellectual and aesthetic maneuvers into one alive cinematic organism. The donkey “Balthazar” in “Au Hazard” symbolizes not only the human body but the human soul, while the bodies of the young people […]

Posted by Victor-Katia as “Stroszek” (1977) By Werner Herzog, Discussion and Mind-Probing, Reviews of Films
Werner Herzog “Stroszek” is a surrealistically stylized saga about the trio of European eccentrics’ awkward attempts to settle into American freedom. The film concentrates mainly on the psychological, not material problems of the emigrants, and, through analysis of their encounters with life provides thoughtful criticism of American viva-survivalism, money-fetishism, a lack of disinterested intellectual energy, […]

Posted by Victor-Katia as “Nelly and Mr. Arnaud” (1995) by Claude Sautet, Discussion and Mind-Probing, Reviews of Films
“Nelly and Mr. Arnaud” is a graciously nostalgic film about everyday life that is not boring or burdensome or hyped up by entertainment but lived according to democratic norms of civility, elegance and gracious and generous individualism. We see personal relationships of love and friendship as, simultaneously, dedicated and free, when people care about one […]

Posted by Victor-Katia as “I Want To Go Home” (1989) by Alain Resnais, Discussion and Mind-Probing, Reviews of Films
We, Americans, from childhood are encouraged to love and to emulate (identify with) endless animation and comic strip cartoon characters that as our internal objects (settled in our unconscious, defining our reactions and becoming a part of who we are) influence our behavior even when we are grownups. For children cartoon characters are entertaining, charming […]

Posted by Victor-Katia as “Pigpen/Pigsty/La Porcile” (1969) By Pier Paolo Pasolini, Discussion and Mind-Probing, Reviews of Films
“Pigpen/Pigsty/La Porcile” is a detailed politico-philosophical statement in visual images about the sad state of what could be a moral evolution of the human specie. The film consists of two parts echoing one another. One depicts the destiny of a group of young cannibals surviving on the periphery of medieval country life, while the other […]
