Master
filmmaker Krzysztof Zanussi returns behind the camera
with Revisited, a pastiche of sorts that connects four
of his earlier works filmed at different points throughout
his career. A fake documentary filmed within the world
of Zanussi's characters, it looks at where they have
all gone since the endings of their own movies. Stefan
(from A Heart in the Palm) interviews other past Zanussi
characters (all played by their original actors), trying
to make sense of his own story. This pseudo-sequel acts
as a reflection on previous works, while managing to
also create a new dialogue between Zanussi and his viewers.
Incorporating actual footage from the films, this piece
convinces us that his characters have lived alongside
us all these years, and continues the philosophically
poignant discussions that were then introduced. A unique
and interesting examination of his own work, the director
has seemingly set his characters free and has now allowed
us to view them in the wild. Truly a picture that plays
with the form of cinema and asks what it means to bring
a character to life on film.
