Reveal, Memory, Time

Paired with chapter 31, is this one, it's opposite. How does Lynne Ramsay do a reveal in Morven Caller? How does the great actor-director Kinuyo Tanaka? Or Sarah Polley? Or Italy's Alice Rohrwacher? As cinema is a kind of time machine, it's no surprise that it's great at memory. In this chapter we look at rare movie gems about memory directed by filmmakers including Petra Costa, Greece's Maria Plytya, Poland's Dorota Kedzierzawska, Vera Chytilova, Mai Zetterling and Mati Diop.Every filmmaker has to think about time. As this chapter shows, Alice Guy- Blache, Chantal Akerman, Hungary's Ildiko Enyedi, Hanna Polak, Marie Menken and Sally Potter did so brilliantly.
