I picked up on the whole Cold War / witch power struggle parallels Row mentioned, and the whole national guilt thing... they just felt very tenuously connected to the central themes of maternity and femininity, like an afterthought, an artificial extension. Like an extra pair of arms sewn on that only ended up getting in the way.

My idea of a perfect work of art is something where every constituent part compliments one another aesthetically and thematically. A perfect coherence of form and content. This movie was that + some forced historical whateverness it felt compelled to explore because... the original film came out in 1977, and that happened to be an interesting year for German politics???? I just couldn’t get what the director was thinking

This sounds like a very safe and comfortable way to view art but not a very challenging or exciting one.

Nah, I like a lot of challenging and exciting shit. Please don’t think I’m describing neat 3 minute songs or 90 minute movies, where everything behaves as it should in a very safe and predictable way. I just like to review a work in my head afterward, and feel every constituent part should have been there. These parts I’m describing can be as wild as the squealing feedback in ‘After The Flood’ by Talk Talk, or the nuclear explosion in the new Twin Peaks, or those montages of nightmarish imagery in the new Suspiria. Those are all uncomfortable and unconventional in nature, but they aren’t weirdness for weirdness’ sake. They all evoke a feeling or say something that enriches the work as a whole. I didn’t find the drab war stuff enriched the film or enhanced its meaning, it was simply... there.



Rant over

Wonderful soundtrack.



I agree with poly, though. I can appreciate multitudes of thematic interests in movies (and I, mostly, really liked this one). However, angling on historical German context (of shame, guilt and not forgetting - inescapability of the past) kinda contradicted the concept explored in the dance academy (of the daughter giving rise to new motherhood, upending and erasing the old - rebirth). That's just my reading, however. I also didn't find the two to really mesh at any point, but I think making a movie that goes down those paths is pretty intriguing.
