Rapaport

Homunculus

Blind Light [VHS]
$24.95
This film is so amazingly beautiful and also so rich. It weaves not just different film stocks- 16mm and Super 8mm (maybe also 35mm?), but many different localized narratives. The biographical history of Axel Munthe, the phenomenological exploration of light and architecture, also the omniscient autobiography of the director Pola Rapaport, and the fictional sub-plot of the character played by Edie Falco- all weave together in an amazing way.
I would compare its form to Agnes Varda's The Gleaners and I (also The Beaches of Agnes) and to Gabbeh from Mohsen Makhmalbaf.
I admit that i didn't like it so much the first time i saw it. The fictional Edie Falco part got on my nerves, but watching the director's commentary and then watching the film again made me appreciate it a thousand times more. The commentary is great to listen to for hopeful experimental documentary filmmakers.
