Film Notes
Cinema was born a seer. “The greatest trick would be discovery of a cinematographic image, naked, undressed, immodest and for this, a chaste, frontal image, still, moving, sensitive and illuminated, the Lumière image” (Marcel Hanoun). From films by Rohmer in the form of a coffer, to pure abstraction, expression of the incredible motility of the Lumière films in Tscherkassky.
