Denbys review is interesting, but the filet of a single sentence had the most meaning. I’m not emotionally excited by the power of cinema’s tricks anymore, Pawlikowski has said. He means, I suspect, he lusts for more substantial fare, for meaning not synthesized by jump cuts and horizontal adventures. He wants to retrieve the humanity from the data flow. He means to reframe history from the remembered emotion of years, decades, centuries. Think of Ireland, Iraq, Israel, Korea, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia. What does it mean to have historical memory? How is it the rage of victimization survives the death of murdered generations?
