Traurig is an indication of the level of cinema language that I have been working towards. By delicately shifting the weight and solidity of the images, and bringing together subject-matter not ordinarily associated, a deeper sense of vergänglichkeit and mystery can-open. The images are as much pure-energy objects as representation of verbal understanding and the screen itself is transformed into a "speaking" character. The "sadness" referred to in the title is more the struggle of the film itself to become a film, such as, rather than some pervasive mood. N. D.
