Film of the week: La Glace á Trois Faces, or, The Three-Faced Mirror

The thoughts coming out of the tutes are pretty advanced and I’m a little worried that I won’t be able to keep up with everyone. I suppose the only thing to do is to read more and watch more film…

Notes on the film (which is about a man’s three lovers at different points in time).

(I found a basic mind-mapping browser application, Mindmup, to use for this.)

There’s a lot of philosophy to catch up with in order to understand what’s happening, apparently. Hegel and Nietzsche key?

Films recommended that may connect with what we’re studying:

• Beau Travail – Clare Denis
• Inland Empire – David Lynch
• Hunger/Shame/12 Years a Slave – Steve McQueen
• Blue is the Warmest Colour – Abdellatif Kechiche
• Memento – Christopher Nolan (re: Soviet montage)
• Tree of Life – Mallick
• Anything by Gus Van Sant?
