English "Do you remember the problem of harmony? From the forbidden union of Area and Aphrodite, a child was born and was named Harmony. Born from the god of conflict and the goddess of love, she inherited contrasting traits from her parents. Harmony is harmonious disharmony." Here, a film is also born based on the disjunctive synthesis of the great with the small, the verbiage of the intellectual bohemian with the vulgarity of bodily shock; a film image captivated by discourse alternating with elegant pomp of refined imagery drowned in silence - or music. In short, the modus operandi of Bressane. The viewer can choose whether the moment when it lights up will collide with the moment when the world is colored, or - when the image becomes black and white, and thus more pleasing to Harmony with its contrast: or must the pendulum of the viewer's attention, on the contrary, constantly swing between the two poles in order to enjoy the smooth transition between static framing of passing words and flowing camera movement of paused words?
