Van Gogh

A nice example of the "Kunstwerk in seiner Epoche der technischen Reproduzierbarkeit". Resnais achieves to create a different artwork and not less ambitious than that of Van Gogh thanks to the opportunities enabled by editing and close up. In that sense I felt that cinema, although in a way it is more condemned to reality is a genre of art which is one level higher than painting.

A brief outline of the life of the artist accompanied by black-and-white images of his work. This was considered worthy of winning an Oscar at the time but doesn’t really have much to offer the contemporary viewer.

Pau no cu do Resnais e Bazin, Van Gogh em preto e branco é um pecado sem tamanho.
