"IT
LOOKS LIKE AN ART-HOUSE FILM HAS BEEN FROZEN INTO STILLS"
"Vladracul"
"It is an enormous project that took two years to prepare,
four years to shoot and
four years to develop. The modern-day allegorical spin on the
Bram Stoker's "Dra-
cula" takes the form of a photo-novel and offers a retrospective
of Germany in the
20th Century. It's looks like an art-house film has been frozen
into stills and
splashed over the walls. De Brest has engineered this project
like a film producer
would: using actors (his friends and some of Berlin's more bohemian
characters),
make-up artists and costume designers and shot on locations
from Berlin's tech-
no clubs to former communist factories and concentration camp
in poland. Told in
12 chapters.
De Brest's camera picks up a vivid blue sky and an entrance
gate that looks like
a scene from a Western. The layers of reference are endless,
it's full of homage
to film people, film stars, film scenes." |
