A Casa - The House (Sarunas Bartas, 1997)

[trep]

IMDb - 6.6/10 (25 votes)

[quote]Like its predecessor Few of Us, Lithuanian cult film director Sarunas Bartas's The House is highly abstract and nearly silent but for a pair of narrators. Whereas the first film was primarily centered on life in a remote mountain village in Lithuania and had loose plot, this one pays tribute to a huge, and aging lakeside manor and is plotless. The narrators speak to an unseen mother and the house may or may not be the fantasy or dream of one of its many diverse residents. For much of the film's two-hour running time, these inhabitants, who reflect people of varying races, shapes, sizes, degrees of attractiveness and ages, are seen aimlessly wandering about looking sad and exhausted. Sometimes, some of the prettier female residents will doff their clothing. Meal times are particularly morose as no one speaks or pays each other any mind at all. It is only toward the end of the film that anything substantial occurs. It happens during a masked ball and is a commentary on the Soviet takeover of Lithuania and a heartfelt prayer for the preservation of Lithuanian local cultures. While there is not much of interest in the story, the beautiful cinematography, which utilized a palette of pale colors and natural lighting and employed largely stationary imagery punctuated by the occasional slow tracking shot, helps maintain viewer interest. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide[/quote]

Quick post... Quality is so-so, source was noisier than usual and sound is too loud here and there. The file is small, because the movie is very dark and static and compressed a lot (try not to watch it on an LCD if you can). The movie is good

There's a quick narration in French at the beginning and at the end - maybe someone will be able to translate it. Besides it, the movie has no dialogues.

Btw, I've removed Rai3 logo from the upper right corner this time.

Bueno, pues si no tiene dialogos me la bajo, que tiene buena pinta y además sale Leos Carax, el director, que no tenía ni idea de que había hecho de actor en alguna peli.

Thanks, trep

Btw, Bartas repaid Carax playing the industrial-noise musician who gives a shelter to Depardieu and Golubeva in Carax' Pola X
