Maria Hofstätter in Paradise: Faith (Ulrich Seidl, 2012) Cast: Maria Hofstätter, Nabil Saleh, René Rupnik, Natalya Baranova, Trude Masur, Dieter Masur, Michaela Hurdes-Galli. Screenplay: Ulrich Seidl, Veronika Franz. Cinematography: Edward Lachman, Wolfgang Thaler. Production design: Andreas Donhauser, Renate Martin. Film editing: Christof Schertenleib. Ulrich Seidl’s intermittently fascinating, intermittently shocking, and even sometimes tedious Paradise: Faith is the middle film in his Paradise trilogy. It focuses on Anna Maria, the sister of the central character in Paradise: Love (2012) and the aunt of the teenager in Paradise: Hope (2013). Anna Maria is a religious zealot, who totes around a statue of the Virgin Mary while making door-to-door calls on strangers whom she persuades (sometimes) to pray with her. Her home is meticulously clean and adorned only with crucifixes, before which she prays and sometimes flagellates herself – and with one of which she performs a sexual act. Before long, we discover that she’s married to a Muslim, though we never quite find out how that happened. Seidl’s distancing from his characters allows us a lot of latitude in judging them, so the film is as much a provocation – an opportunity for us to assess our responses to such religious extremism – as it is a portrait of faith.

Rineke Dijkstra Portraits. Retrospektive
リネケ・ダイクストラは海辺にいる様々な国政の少年少女、ボスニア難民の子供や闘牛場から出たばかりのスペインの闘牛士、兵役前後のイスラエルの若者など、10代や20代の若者を撮影した少し不思議で物思いに沈んだポートレートシリーズで有名です。 本書では、初めてバレエダンサーを志す若者を撮影したシリーズを収録。 その姿は古典的な肖像画のように、被写体が正面からポージングした人物が最小限の背景でカメラの前に向かって立っている。画一的な作品で有りながら、被写体の個性が際立っている。
