Prose du transsibérien
August. 08,2014Accompanied by voice-over extracts from Prose du Transsibérien et de la petite Jeanne de France by Blaise Cendrars, Prose of the Trans-Siberian follows the train journey of the same name, via footage shot from a carriage window. These calm and linear images are combined with abstract animation, sometimes geometric, sometimes more organic, expressing the sensations of this journey, of the horizontal shifting, with its tempo, ist pauses, its agitations and the proliferation of thoughts that this particular space-time makes possible.
Reviews
Best movie of this year hands down!
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
