Ad Astra(2018)
A life of a teacher and her students in a tiny school lost in a vast world of snow and mountains. A tale of courage, wisdom and humanity and an ode to endurance and stoicism. Beautifully shot and narrated.
An impressive parable where the artist’s creativity is paralyzed by the dull crowd can be seen as a metaphor for a totalitarian system. Cleverly designed animation shows the artist as a tied man whose creativity is hindered by the crowd. A visually attractive film with very interesting editing won an award at the Annecy festival in 1983.
