Malpertuis

Another Kümel masterpiece, drenched in mystery, intrigue, eroticism and stunning cinematography. Again, I just felt so enclosed within this hazy world, history, capital all slipping by in shrouded, labyrinthine ethers. The estate becomes a manifestation of yesterday, the future and its entrapping clutches. Escape comes not in tangible removal, nor in the body. Life moves through the will of money, greed, memory, dreams.
