*Ritual in transfigured time —Maya Deren A poetic psychological study of one of America’s leading avant-garde film makers. Achieved by acceleration and deceleration of time, relating of unrelated gestures, repetition of complex patterns unrealizable in actuality. “A memorable, exquisitely poetic, heroically tragic picturization of the emotions linked to the intensity of a girl’s frustrated search for companionship in the real and unreal world in which she _lives.”—Jesse Zunser, Cue.
“Miss Deren’s films use the free-flowing imagery of the subconscious so that it becomes neither the uncontrolled fantasy of surrealism, nor the academic symbolism of psychoanalysis, nor the sterile personification of literal allegory, but retains the profound suggestivity of its sources in a controlled pattern.”—Kimon Friar, Professor of English, Amherst College. 15 minutes, black & white, silent $15 sale $150
La rose et le reseda —Andre Michel Poetry and visual symbolism are wedded in a striking and outstanding experimental film from France, a moving tribute to the spirit of the Resistance movement. Brilliantly narrated by Jean Louis Barrault, haunting music by Georges Auric, poem by the noted French poet Aragon. One of the most important post-war poetic films.
