Master
filmmaker Krzysztof Zanussi returns behind the
camera with Revisited, a pastiche of sorts that
connects four of his earlier works filmed at different
points throughout his career. A fake documentary
filmed within the world of Zanussi's characters,
it looks at where they have all gone since the
endings of their own movies. Stefan (from A Heart
in the Palm) interviews other past Zanussi characters
(all played by their original actors), trying
to make sense of his own story. This pseudo-sequel
acts as a reflection on previous works, while
managing to also create a new dialogue between
Zanussi and his viewers. Incorporating actual
footage from the films, this piece convinces us
that his characters have lived alongside us all
these years, and continues the philosophically
poignant discussions that were then introduced.
A unique and interesting examination of his own
work, the director has seemingly set his characters
free and has now allowed us to view them in the
wild. Truly a picture that plays with the form
of cinema and asks what it means to bring a character
to life on film.
