太阳之歌 Sun Song (2013)

电影简介

A poetic journey from the darkness of early dawn into the brightness of the midday sun in the American South. Filmed entirely on the number 16 bus route in Durham, North Carolina over the course of six months, Sun Song is a celebration of light and a meditation on leaving. Reviews “...the final three minutes of Sun Song are as exciting and as impeccably edited as anything I’ve seen in years. It’s the most radical depiction of space travel since the highway scene in Tarkovsky’s Solaris (1972)! That Wanek was able to produce such a mature, surprising, and deeply human piece so early in his filmmaking career gives me great hope.” Sheer Playfulness and Deadly Seriousness by Darren Hughes SENSES OF CINEMA March 2014 “There is no end to the trip in Sun Song, but the light's role does eventually have a hand in the conclusion, coming first flickering and then laying upon the seats and a final passenger like a passing revelation of an unspoken blessing." Rotterdam 2014. Deep Breaths by Daniel Kasman MUBI NOTEBOOK February 2014 "Probably the most simple and exciting work seen at Rotterdam was the short film from Joel Wanek, Sun Song... in all its purity and essentiality, it has as much (or more) to do with photography and the origins of the moving image than with the current cinema."
