Hi everyone, I just joined. Woo hoo.
I had a question to ask those who had perhaps read, or know about, the essay
'For an Imperfect Cinema' (who it's by escapes me) which argues,
essentially, that film should be a pretext for the central themes in it, but
not text itself; i.e. that it should show us, not tell us.
What does anyone think of a film being exactly the opposite: A film
organised in a way that resembles a philosophical essay or thesis. Does that
sound compelling or not? Does anyone know of any such films?
Carlo
