Review of Blaise Pascal (1972) by Yayo U — 04 Feb 2009
One of Rossellini's history films, where he seems more interested in communicating ideas rather than narrative. This certainly creates a unique context and forces engagement through the intellectual more than the experiential.
The camera moves beautifully here, often highlighting certain objects or even tensions between people based on its placement and movement. Rossellini also makes only limited use of the close-up, making those few shots more evocative in the overall scheme of the film.
