"Diving clothes dream of butterflies"
★ "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly』★Screening in cinema rise!
This is a true story, the ELLE original editor-in-chief of France French strange disease locks · in syndrome. It will not move at all except for one eyelid. Consciousness, memory, thought, and imagination are the same as before, and he will write autobiography with only the blink of the left eye. . . This is not merely a fighting spirit battle of the protagonist Jean, but it is drawn from various perspectives such as a doctor, a speech therapist, a wife, children, former lover, colleague, ... that it lives a limited time, people It is drawn carefully, to look back on the relationship with. . .
Director Julian Schnabel, contemporary artist who pasted a dish split into a large canvas in the 1980s and painted a heavy theme such as "myth", "emptiness", "death" with paint. At young age he was said to be a darling of the times with great success. However, the name is not immediately heard, and now his face as a film director may be famous. There is a painter called genius Baskia who was active in the art world at the same time as he.
Schnabel drew carefully the NY art scene of that era with the movie "Basquia". Warhol role is D · Bowie, Schnabel role is G · Oldman.
The main character Jean who crawls over and over again in "Diving clothes", whether means changes or is cut off, is like Schnabel himself.
At the moment Jean taught that he can communicate with himself by contacting with a speech therapist, a massive ice mass like the Antarctic iceberg on the screen collapses suddenly. His hard feeling of hopelessness sounds out and dissolves.
And at the moment when we finished publishing our autobiography at the end of the end and took full advantage of our own life, the iceberg will begin to solidify one after another with the reverse rotation of the film. . .
It can be said that it is Schnabel's paintings of the 1980's itself.
In the gigantic canvas, a lot of dishes that were once broken are shaped like originals and coarsely stuck, from which various figures are drawn with paint. "Time" as an act is pasted on the canvas.
In the work drawn on the canvas in a row and a row, the place drawn on the canvas fabric is pure "painting", the place depicted on the broken dish is "paint as a substance" (Since it is a substance that rides on the dish).
If you were trying to replace the film's "iceberg and his consciousness" with the relationship of "dish and paint" of his 80's painting. . .
Since paint rides on a plate, it is also a "substance", and it is purely "color".
His consciousness may take on "reality" like that "substance", and may also be said to include one aspect of "ideal" like "color".
"Reality" and "ideal" live together in the movie as well as in the canvas at the same time.
