剧情介绍
D’ Annunzio Cave is a strange, loud and unique film . The film examines the at the time immensely popular Italian writer Gabriele D’ Annunzio opulent private residence. D’Annunzio published decadent and symbolist literature from the time he was 16 , had affairs with a number of his day’s most famous beauties, became a patriotic hero under 1 World War II and after the war cast himself as ” duce ” of a city in Croatia for a brief period. At one time a bel esprit , whose writings are still partly valued today, but also a source of inspiration for fascism.
Where the style of most of Emigholz ‘ film is quiet and panoramic, this film is handheld and intrusive . Where the soundtrack of the other films consists of footage from the site , there is in this film constantly voiceover from a cacophony of computer voices that read texts of d’ Annunzio , Joseph Conrad, Benito Mussolini and several others. There’s even background music here and there from Debussy, David Byrne and Brian Eno. It is a poignantly beautiful, noisy and poetically overwhelming film – with lots of color and fetish . From a forgotten time.
Gabriele d'Annunzio moved into his villa in 1921. In 1997, Heinz Emigholz began to film this building and the tale it told of its owner and architect Giancarlo Maroni.
MUBI有时推荐些资源难找也没人听说过的weird shit，比如这部参观邓南遮豪宅的建筑片。鉴于最近在搞纪录片相关的展览实验，我把这50分钟的游客手持dv电影看完了。它像件视频装置，画外音虽声线变换，时常重合，但都是电脑读的，有导游词、邓南遮的作品、脏话、日常用语等，配乐也实验音效古典乐交替。
