Cervix Low, Hard, And Open

Muriel or Time of a Return, Alain Resnais (1963) Ugly


Quest for a Paradise Lost, self-seeking through a past that we try in vain to forget, interaction between a multitude of empty souls and flesh overtaken by events "Muriel or Time of a Return" brilliantly draws the general concern of a people in need of references. Virtual tour camera, this atypical fiction tries to break the contradiction between consciousness and unconsciousness, involuntary lie blind and lucidity, trauma and future.

War here is the concrete ground, the origin of separations and behavioral changes in land, the excuse of "it was better before." Flying over the players and their game to better penetrate thereafter. Built in a chaotic, both technical and narrative, the film illustrates the general sense of disarray at the same time that the instability of the fallen souls and outdated. This one fills the void with empty past, invented a nostalgic happiness hoping to finally see the show. But the weight of the past is too large, by wear it brings but also the management of this.

Yet it is difficult to concretely explain this instability, both these characters appear faded quiet, internalizing the depths of their own existential secrets. How to rebuild what is lost if there is any sense? War calls into question the linear side of Life, marks a break in which time stops, requiring a second birth with a brief pre uterine misleading.
Despite some archive footage, War is not noticed, she does not read more but she feels. Constantly present in the minds of interlocutors, it takes the form of a dry sweat constantly hooked to the skin.

jerky images, characters stifled by the vacuum that fills their fatigue, testing experimental deconstruction of time and its linearity, "Muriel or Time of a Return" leads to a cruel reflection on the meaning of existence or at least on his quest. The latter is merely the result of a reading in the eyes of others, we adopt an unbiased look into leaving our eyes dull evenings alone.
Achievement Experimental allows the film Resnais to strive for universality without scoring any time a technical standpoint. Finally, we must acknowledge the position of director who denounces the use of the word "events" to name the War in Algeria, and it barely a year after the end of hostilities. To see.
