Thoughts and Visions of a Severed Head
Pensées et visions d'une tête coupée
Rating: 5.2 · 1991 · Documentary, Drama · France, Belgium · 26 мин
Description
The theme of death is heavily interwoven in Smolder’s surreal salute to Belgian painter Antoine Wiertz, a Hieronymus Bosch-type artist whose work centered on humans in various stages in torment, as depicted in expansive canvases with gore galore. Smolders has basically taken a standard documentary and chopped it up, using quotes from the long-dead artist, and periodic statements by a historian (Smolders) filling in a few bits of Wiertz’ life.
