Viennale: red shirley
one (if not the climax) of the Viennale, took place yesterday in his Gartenbaukino performance: the Viennale director Hans Hurch could welcome lou reed and screening of his film red shirley .
basically a small, fine piece of oral history, the lou reed interview with the capture of his now 102-year-old cousin Shirley. what is now not the major would be art, because you a story like that of Shirley applications already get out of astonishment over all the already would follow curious: Born in Poland, WK just experienced there I, in 1928 emigrated - 19 years old, alone, armed with two suitcases and no English - to Canada, which was then seen as too parochial, making them illegal on to new york, traveled there as a seamstress gained a foothold in the textile industry (including a dress made for Liza Minnelli), and finally in the Italian trade union led the resistance ... however, proves reed heart and humor, if he asks for details shortly, noting that the now well you can not be serious ( cheating? ), he shows that he is about the person rather than with the story. Now what are probably some critics surveyed, because that would be after all the documentary requirement for . However, one gets the impression that lou reed his movie as not intended to be understood. red shirley should definitely not be documented in the traditional sense, it is a love letter a remarkable woman.
the subsequent audience discussion with Hans Hurch and Edek Bartz (for whatever reason the man as took part ...) then was sometimes quite funny to hear. Hurch exhausted himself in technical details, Bartz tried it on the history - reeds answer came in the most scarce. after he had his nose full of it, he directed a short hand to the audience ask about - maybe we should end our little talk here which had now, however, not led to much more detailed statements. Well, mr. Reed does not seem the words of the great man, however: a good teller he was always on the lips ...

Viennale: Meek's cutoff
Kelly Reichardt uses the genre against itself: the setting - provided with all the genre-typical ingredients - is easily explained. three families of settlers and their scout Meeks (based on a historically verifiable figure), who speaks in favor of the legendary Oregon Trail an abbreviation leave are on the way to the west. However, settings at the first is clear, Reichardt it's certainly not a possible dramatic presentation of the painful everyday settlers: the camera patiently follows the crossing of a river, a team of oxen after the other, behind the women on the head, transporting fragile items carefully. is at the other shore collected wood, water resources are filled, the adolescent boy scratches in an old weathered tree trunk the word lost.
which basically everything is explained. It is reichardt the presentation of this lost one - and the impact on this common destiny: after a few days without water, the settlers anxious - to the capabilities of the scouts are logged doubt. then even as an Indian shows up, the meeks captures with a settlers, differ on how to proceed with him, Meeks wants to kill him immediately, the settlers rely on its local knowledge and can lead him on. however, the fear that the Indians could lead to an ambush, always present. what the psychological film is a structural crisis: the women at the beginning of the film are some steps fro behind the venture, which - if the men advise on further action - wait in the background and ask themselves to decide what will be tone - in the literal sense to take the reins ...
in this new world, because - not where a gold fund in view of existing water-nothing matters must be reconsidered old power structures, Authorities questioned and loyalties are redefined. Reichardt delivers a dense, very gently stretch over long incredibly quiet portrait of these survive in the absolute barrenness around the struggling company.
