Краткое содержание
Through the story of one woman’s year in a room with a view, the film catches its audience up in the collective memories of all those who have loved and lost. Through a study of Liz’s obsession and loneliness, the film mixes the particular with the universal to cover the whole gamut of feelings and theories about lost love. Ranging from the popular to the more erudite, snatches of songs, quotes and diary jottings are all stitched together with stories from Liz’s past and descriptions in minutiae of her current existence. The B side of love is richly played out through the words of an A team of interpreters from Split Enz, Laurie Anderson and Bob Dylan to Freud, Marge Piercy, Collete and Roland Barthes.

Фильм-эссе, по форме напоминающий некоторые ленты Криса Маркера, представляет собой высокоритмичную нарезку документального и сфабрикованного видеоматериала, который перемежается игровыми фрагментами с участием самого Уэллса и его подружки Ойи Кодар. Основная тема — сложная диалектика истинного и фальшивого в искусстве — иллюстрируется примерами неординарных судеб фальсификаторов Эльмира де Хори и Клиффорда Ирвинга. Во второй половине фильма Уэллс мистифицирует зрителей историей о том, как Ойя Кодар якобы позировала для Пикассо.

In the fourth and final instalment of Karel Vachek’s not-so-little Little Capitalist Tetralogy, preparations for an opera performance in the Czech capital’s art-nouveau National Theatre become the occasion for a reflection on rebels, dissidents, and others subversives who stand in battle, heroically and sometimes tragically, against majority opinion, established rules, or powerful institutions.
