So, then,

no one's seen Petr Wiegl's Winterreise that saw the previous post, or at least felt like commenting. You should see it if you have a chance, and like your Romanticism straight up, no chaser.

Weigl's done a lot of filmed opera and other films using classical music, as his IMDB page attests. This film uses Schubert's Winterreise as its soundtrack, ( Read more... )

and her trio of allegorical backup mimes

I just like this phrase.

So which way is this triangle running? Or does it run in two directions? Just who is the injured party here?

And that does make me want to see this movie.

Thank you!

The mimes are awesome. Just silent, though, not white-faced.

I do hope you get a chance to see this.

Thanks for the rec! I've ordered it on interlibrary loan from our public library -- they have 2 films by Weigl but not that one.

BTW, I recommend the public library as a resource. When we got our video equipment we were all set to join Netflix, but several years later we still haven't gotten around to it. There is so much available at the library that we have a new stack of DVDs every week.

An excellent point.
Myself, I'm so bad about getting the books back on time that I hesitate to go after DVDs just now.

I hope you enjoy it.
