L' ANGE (1982) 70'
Description
"L'Ange is a complex masterpiece like a Divine (and very human) Comedy. This film, which screened uninterrupted in a Tokyo theater for nearly ten years (like Cocteau's Le Sang d'un poète in New York during the 1950s), has given audiences worldwide one of their cult works, as they say, for lovers of lightning cinema—that is, cinema that bewitches and deeply moves."
— Dominique Noguez
"Upon its release, the film caused a sensation. Its technical mystery, hypnotic power, and the connections it seems to maintain with famous images from art history (Vermeer and more broadly Dutch painting, Dürer and his representations of perspectival mastery) made a strong impression."
— Dominique Païni, Art Press
