The Red Bank. James Joyce: His Greek Notebooks

This documentary aims to register this unknown side of James Joyce: His Greek Notebooks. Trieste. Bloomsday, 2013. Dance in slow motion, accompanied by text. By deconstructing the body, we turn it into a memory: of the body, of life, of texts. The biographical references to Joyce and Mando Aravantinou, combined with the diagonal slicing of the image, cancel the realism of the landscape, including that of the Narrator’s space/study. As a culmination, Joyce’s letter “A request for a loan in Greek” functions as a timely denunciation. Various routes through cities, such as Trieste, London, New York, and Athens; languages such as Greek and English. In addition to the primal myth of Ulysses, there is another issue: Greek is “the language of the subject of Ulysses”

The Baby of Mâcon

Set halfway through the 17th century, a church play is performed for the benefit of the young aristocrat Cosimo. In the play, a grotesque old woman gives birth to a beautiful baby boy. The child's older sister is quick to exploit the situation, selling blessings from the baby, and even claiming she's the true mother by virgin birth. However, when she attempts to seduce the bishop's son, the Church exacts a terrible revenge.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Let me start this review by saying that I am not the greatest experimental movie fan at all, so a 6/10 from me is like an 8/10 by everybody else I guess, maybe even a 9. With this 4-minute film here, director Bruce Conner really won me over. I thought this was quite impressive. Ray Charles delivers nicely as usual and the images make an impact too and work together very well with the music although they are so so different. This is what I call an artistic approach, not filming a lemon for 7 minutes. I applaud Bruce Conner for this achievement and I highly recommend it to everybody else. An experimental film that is easily accessible for everybody. Very well done. Very relevant. watch it.
