"This piece, with the generic title Film, is a series of short videos built around one protocol: a snippet of news from a newspaper of the day, is rolled up and then placed on a black-inked surface. On making contact with the liquid, the roll opens and of Its own accord frees itself of the gesture that fashioned it. As it comes alive in this way, the sliver of paper reveals Its hitherto unexposed content; this unpredictable kinematics is evidence of the constant impermanence of news. As well as exploring a certain archaeology of cinema, the mechanism references the passage of time: the ink, whether it is poured or printed, is the ink of ongoing human history." –Ismaïl Bahri
Storia della famiglia tedesca degli Essenbeck, industriali metallurgici, nel biennio 1933-34, dall'incendio del Reichstag alla “notte dei lunghi coltelli” in cui le SS fecero strage delle SA. Poeta del negativo, Visconti riprende qui – tenendo d'occhio Macbeth di Shakespeare, I demoni di Dostoevskij, Götterdämmerung di Wagner e Thomas Mann – la sua vocazione di registratore di crolli, profanatore di romanticismi, cantore di corruzioni e dissoluzioni. Forzature, dissonanze, compiacimenti sono i peccati minori di un film di fosca potenza, con attori di prim'ordine. Ribattezzato malignamente “La saga dei Buddenkrupp”.
