Crossing of Time: Marker and Mizoguchi's Ghosts
Cruce de Tiempos: Los Fantasmas de Kenji Mizoguchi & Chris Marker
2018 · 3m
Directed by Diego Cepeda
A video essay examining the dead, the living, and the ghosts of cinema.
This work arises from the random encounter of two titles having a tie in the 50th place on the Sight & Sound list in 2012, curiously enough, when considering a dialogue between these two films, we see how cinema can generate its own ghosts: in both films the dead and the living coexist; in La Jeteé thanks to time (insubordinate of movement) and in Ugetsu Monogatari thanks to movement (a panoramic view within a sequence shot, which refers to a deceptive narrative continuity). What would happen if we stripped both films of their construction?
