Edge of Ice (1986)

지구의 최남단, 그곳에 숨겨진 공동체가 있다. 믿을 수 없을 만큼 폐쇄적인 남극의 한 지역에 천여 명의 남녀가 첨단 과학을 위해 자신들의 안정적 삶에 대한 욕구를 희생한 채 살아가고 있다. 헤어조그 감독은 촬영감독과 함께 외부인으로서는 최초로 이곳에 들어가, 문명이 침투하지 않은 지구 반대편 땅이 보여주는 천연의 아름다움과 인류의 모습을 담아냈다. 독일이 낳은 거장, 뉴저먼 시네마를 대표하는 베르너 헤어조그의 신작 는 지구의 맨 끝 남극에 자리 잡은 맥머도 기지를 배경으로 하고 있다. 배관공에서 생물학자에 이르기까지 1,000여 명의 다양한 사람들이 살고 있는, 자연과 사람이 만나는 지점인 이곳에서 베르너 헤어조그는 미래에 대해 비관적지도 낙관적이지도 않은 접근을 하면서도 다층적 스토리로 독특한 영상을 실타래 엮어내듯 필름에 담아낸다. 마치 우주 한가운데를 유영하는 듯 새 차원의 느낌을 주는 신비로운 얼음 밑 세상, 컴퓨터로 만들어 낸 듯한 바다표범의 울림과 모든 것을 삼키려는 듯 아귀를 크게 벌리고 맨살을 드러내고 있는 거대한 규모의 남극 활화산, 현기증 이는 깎아지른 수천 피트의 빙벽 등 지구 태초의 모습은 그 영상만으로도 흥분하기에 충분하지만 베르너 헤어조그가 자신의 목소리로 직접 인도하는 스토리 라인은 그 감흥을 더하기에 모자람이 없다. 영상과 어우러지는 아름다운 현악과 성가 또한 감상 포인트. 아시아 최초로 베르너 헤어조그의 신작 가 관객과의 조우를 기다린다.
