JEONJU DIGITAL PROJECT 2011: UN HERITIER
by Jean-Marie Straub
Country: France, South Korea
Year: 2011
Duration: 21'
In 1994, Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet made a film, Lothringen!, adapting from a novel Colette Bodauche by Maurice Barrès. In 2010, Straub goes to Alsace in France to complete the second film of the Barrès series. At this time, the film is based on the novel, Au service de l’Allemagne, about Mont Saint Odile written in 1903. Like Joseph, the protagonist, Jean-Marie Straub from the Colmar region will be wandering around Mont Saint Odile following the route of a young country doctor. And Straub will be visiting paths leading to the private house of foresters and near the famous wall of the heathen existing in the region, which were also familiar to Barrès. “1872-1918! These images of my childhood cause me pain. We others, young Alsatian bourgeois, we grew up in an atmosphere of conspiracy, fear and hatred.”
