Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y (Johan Grimonprez, 1997) DVDRip VOSE
Publicado: Mié 13 Sep, 2006 14:29
It's not a simple documentary, it's not an obvious experimental film, it's not a boring arty video: it's an astonishing found footage film that explains a new use of cinema, sound and editing.
A masterpiece!

"Johan Grimonprez's Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y is a televisually stunning, macabre, and intermittently funny meditation on Don DeLillo's work as it pertains to airplanes, terrorism, and death. It is also, in some sense, about "history" and the possibility of what that might be. This potent mixture caused a considerable stir when the video debuted at Documenta X and, more recently, when seen at Deitch Projects in New York. The film is sometimes a little too clever for its own good (and too fascinated with crashing aircraft), but it is irresistibly watchable and brilliantly paced.
Some might find the subject and how it is handled a cause for concern, and indeed the packaging suggests a certain excess of hipness. Yet Grimonprez manages, among other things, to give a jolting historical account of an unwieldy subject - the period when air traffic became a central stage for political terrorism, or what counted as political terrorism. This is roughly the moment between the first hijackings to Havana in the late '50s and the 1988 downing of Pan Am flight 103. Lockerbie is of course not the site of a hijacking but of the remains of an airplane totally obliterated by a hidden bomb. Without the customary threats against hostages and demands for the release of imprisoned friends, without the peregrinations to various airports and the endless negotiations, Pan Am 103 really signified the end of hijacking as a political gesture. It was a dastardly act far from the perverted, suicidal heroics of the days when, as Grimonprez reminds us, the Japanese Red Army commandeered airplanes with samurai swords. Hijacking may continue but its historical moment (in a Hegelian sense) is over.
Grimonprez has dug up a remarkable array of television news materials and spliced them together with older newsreels, instructional films about terrorist prevention, and video shots of room interiors, airport gates, and the like. David Shea's crucial sound track combines disparate musical snippets with contemplative voice-over extracts from DeLillo's White Noise and Mao II, all held together by a '70s disco theme, which in its sugary, soothing way turns out to be one of the most productively annoying features of the whole film."
