The lines st with “O Somma Luce” which is the title of the film and also the 67th line of the 33rd canto in “Paradiso” of Dante’s “Divine Comedy” to the end of “Paradiso”. The film is pleted with music and lines instead of emotions and narrations. This is a recent attempt to bine film with literature. The film begins with a black screen and the music of Edgard Varese. The BGM is “Deserts” that was rerded in 1954. After some moments of darkness, the music ends and a middle-aged man sits on a hill, reciting something. He is Giio Passerone, an Italian literature fessor, and he is reading out of the last p of ‘Paradiso’ of Dante’s Divine Comedy. Jean-Marie Straub expressed how he thinks of Dante through a subtle aent and dialect. The director who had ended many great ists and musicians including Bach, plete the bination of Dante and Varese, which uld seem strange. (Lim Kyung Yong)展开
