TRANSPORTING LANDSCAPES 

 

With the Winter 2024 Filmbar series, we present a series of films that explore the changing relationships between outer and inner perceptions of space through dramatic landscape cinematography. This series is organized in conjunction with “Klimt Landscapes.”

 


     
Klimt 2006  
 

KLIMT (2006)

 

 

Directed by Raúl Ruiz. English. 131 min.

Gustav Klimt lived his life like he painted it – full of intensity, sensuality and passion. In this biographical fantasy, Klimt recalls the decadence of his past in feverish visions from his deathbed. Reflecting on his many torrid affairs and his struggles for artistic freedom, he travels back to the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris. There, Klimt is introduced to a mysterious dancer, Lea de Castro, who emerges as his muse and the personification of his own erotic ideals and carnal desires.

Directed by Wim Wenders. German with English subtitles. 180 mins.

A roving film projector repairman saves the life of a depressed psychologist,who has driven his Volkswagen into a river. As a result of this unlikely meeting, they end up on the road together, traveling from one rural German movie theater to another. Along the way, the two men, each running from his past, bond over their shared loneliness. Kings of the Road, captured in gorgeous compositions by cinematographer Robby Müller and dedicated to Fritz Lang, is a love letter to the cinema, a moving and funny tale of male friendship, and a portrait of a country still haunted by war.
