Review of “The Man with No Shadow” (2004)
Georges Schwizgebel (director).
Seen in 2017.
Restored 4K version at GIFF 2017.
Second only to “The Year of the Deer” (1995) on the list of Schwizgebel’s attempts to tell a story, this one based on a book. He changed the ending to something more visual. The opening two thirds are by far the most interesting. The fluid compositions made to emphasize shadows in it are just beautiful.
