Pasolini emplea este recurso estilístico como lo que una mirada perdida ya no puede demostrar: el movimiento circular alrededor de Odetta significa el vértigo de la ausencia y la angustia de ese nuevo vacío. Qué importante "Teorema" (1968) en su despliegue de metáforas visuales.

A lugubrious novel about a brooding misanthrope, published 27 years ago, deemed untranslatable (David M. Smith said “hold my beer”), and written by an alleged Norwegian “madman”? Sure, pile it on. This is my kind of thing!

Actually, a lot of great books came out this year — some of which I read in the original in years past! Add Sorokin’s new novel and Carrère’s KOLKHOZ in English to the stack as well

Peoples, I present my first unequivocal love poem in 30 years. Find out why I think Werner Herzog should be teleported into Wuthering Heights so he can tell Cathy that the moors outside are savage and meaningless, like her pianoforte playing. thediagram.com/26_3/berry.ht…

The first page of Thomas Bernhard’s YES reminds me of how closely Jen Craig has studied his style. Down to the italics of “alarmed and appalled”— the instability of meaning.

Director Werner Herzog on the set of "Stroszek," 1977, about an alcoholic street performer who moves from West Berlin to the American Midwest. Critic Vincent Canby said, "It's terrifically, spontaneously funny and, just as spontaneously, full of unexpected pathos."

Tarkovsky shaping Stalker in the silence behind the camera, time breathes, memory lingers, and the image slowly becomes fate.
