Review of Le Révélateur (1968) by Takabe Y — 21 Aug 2011

Absolute silence, lights and shadows masterfully orchestrated, depressing gestures and a lavishing cinematography: that's Garrel's obscure and underrated masterpiece that shows us the true features that would constitute cinema as a pure art form, why silent masterpieces were what they were and how true auteurs of filmmaking succeeded outside their borders beyond a plot or just style over substance. This is magic, briefly speaking.

It also serves as evidence that LSD can turn average moviemakers into masters temporarily...

99/100.
