Lamentations: A Monument to the Dead World Part 1: The Dream of the Last Historian

Like Ezekiel’s vision in the valley of the dry bones, a typos of a new beginning. In among all the feelings of loss and deprivation there occur intimations of final culbute général, of the dissolution of time, of a now that vanishes between the no long and the not yet. A “meditation that deals with the state of human consciousness in the postmodern world….a truly monumental film.” – Katie Russell “Transcends conventional form in an accessible, exciting shape that is likely to change the way all of us see movies.” – Robert Haller
