pina bausch and pier paolo pasolini




i found this montage of two wonderful films (pina bausch´s "die klage der kaiserin" and pier paolo pasolini´s "teorema") on youtube and was quite intrigued.
pina bausch died some weeks ago of cancer.
she must have been a wonderful person.

i really like the idea of cutting up two films like this, deconstructing the syntax and constructing a new one out of parallels, clashes, sychnchronicities and asynchronicities. it´s like taking the letters out of their order in the sentences of the film and showing the alphabet, the bare elements, that by chronology, or just simple time, become this hallucinating vision at night, a film.
