Title

From Viennale

In cinema, one plus one does not necessarily equal two. Drawing inspiration from artist John Baldessari’s TITLE (1973), Laida Lertxundi constructs a kind of shot-for-shot remake, bringing the film into her own universe: a deconstruction of cinematic tools that incorporates her own landscapes, both real and emotional. The shift goes beyond replacing men with women: Lertxundi challenges the formal rigidity of 1960s and 1970s conceptual cinema in a film that celebrates play, life and beauty. One plus one: the sum ultimately forms a narrative without laws. (Gonzalo de Pedro Amatria)
