IN THE FORM OF THINGS TO COME

Duration: 35


Nadia Com?neci is considered the 20th century’s greatest gymnast. When she was only 14 years old, she was the first athlete to ever obtain a perfect score – 10 – in an Olympic competition (Montreal, 1976), thus embodying, for the first time, the idea of perfection. The Romanian gymnast is the catalyst for an analysis of four different instances in the creation of a perfect image.

 

“The visual component of the film was entirely realized using images from four different sources: TV programs like L’Albero Azzurro and Alle falde del Kilimangiaro, the Diez Garcia family archives and You Tube. The voice over is composed of quotes from different authors (Giorgio Agamben, Archiloco, Emil Cioran, Mircea Eliade, Franz Kafka, H.P. Lovecraft, Lucrezio, Saffo, Verdena) and the music is by Gustav Mahler. During the shooting, the quotes weren’t read, but rather translated live, in order to maintain the nature of the emceeing as close as possible to documentary material.”
