3X3D

9/29/2013

 
Picture
Directors Jean-Luc Godard, Peter Greenaway, and Edgar Pêra bring you three very different but equally intriguing stories in 3D. 
Greenaway's Just inTime is an intricately woven and executed one-shot steady-cam film that takes you from 200 AD to to present day in 20 minutes. The film is not only fantastic in its camera movement and staging, but in the foresight it took to plan the blocking, and placement and movement of text.

Godard's les trois désastres discusses perspective encompassing his known theories on window/frame. It may not make sense to viewers not familiar with his teachings but the visuals are stunning just the same.

Pêra's Cinesapiens tackles a similar concept of the Gaze as does Godard's film, but is a little more convoluted in its execution. It may have been the projection but this third film was difficult to watch and read the titling at the same time.

The triptych is preceded by a short film by Maciek Szczerbowski and Chris Lavis. Cochemare takes us from a magical, faerie forest with a nurturing mother figure, to a surreal, futuristic space station with a nurturing mother figure in suspended animation. Visually stunning and highly imaginative and transportive in storytelling.
