Walk under the lanterns Oh, this is the most sentimental Lars von Trier movie I've ever seen! The harsh stories of Bess, Grace and Selma evoked behind the corners of the screen the shadow of the Silent Compassionate, who in this picture found the voice and appearance of old Verge. He got a hard case - a psychopath and Jack's killer, in which the poetic soul of Verge in the old-fashioned way is looking for a desire for love that splashed out wrong and wrong.
Jack answers with interesting theories about the value of the ruins, about the aggressive nature of the artist. Verge argues in the language of theories, trying to prove that without love there is no art, but Jack, as usual, is inexorable - just some kind of antichrist. He is eerily serious about his theories: the “ridiculous” man at the piano? You can't prove anything to him.
Gould's rehearsal I saw as a man's occupation, let's say, with chaos in his soul - the result will surely be wonderful music at the concert. Jack seriously and thoughtfully prepares for a new business, meticulously choosing a way and place, and the result will be something that does not allow you to call him a mentally healthy person.
It is bad for us if we speak the language of theories. Truth is not something that can be proved: it is something that cannot be avoided. Jack can't escape the question of why he didn't build that house. What the author wanted to say, as if asked me at school. What's the state of your houses under construction, that's what I think he's asking. In this multifaceted, ideal directing, enveloping the only thesis of Verge about the indivisibility of art from love scenes from the life of Jack, documentary and animation footage, disputes between Jack and Verge, works of art, excursions into history, of course, five incidents are deliberately striking. Five blinding lanterns that obscure the light of the stars. Artificial light that does not allow you to really do your home. As often in our lives.
Of course, the lanterns shown in the film can be blinded – be careful. You should be more careful with your personal lights.
