Movie Reviews of Avant-Garde 2: Experimental Cinema 1928-1954
Movie Review: Not as good as the first one
Summary: 3 Stars
It's good. But not as good as the first (Avant-Garde 1). In this 2 dvd box almost all films are from the US, what makes it poorer. Still is worth buying it, if you (like me) enjoy this crazy experimental stuff. But I would prefer it with more bizarre german and french ones.
Summary of Avant-Garde 2: Experimental Cinema 1928-1954
In the latter half of the 20th Century, Raymond Rohauer was one of the nation s foremost proponents of experimental cinema. This two-disc collection continues Kino s tribute to the Rohauer Collection, including the early works of Stan Brakhage and influential films by Willard Maas, Gregory Markopoulos, Marie Menken, Dimitri Kirsanoff, Jean Mitry, Sidney Peterson and others. The pi?ce de r?sistance is Jean Isidore Isou s passionate manifesto of film aesthetics Trait? de bave et d eternit? (Venom and Eternity), which sparked a riot when it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1951. This edition of Venom includes 34 minutes of footage never seen in the United States.
