Metropoème (1970)

33 min - - -


Synopsis: Uncoincidentally, Sergiu Huzum started working on his first French film, Metropoème, while at home, in communist Romania, Lucian Pintilie's The Reenactment, on which he was the DoP, was making the history — but especially the mythology — of the most famous dissident film. Although the “transtrav”, that effect of the opposition between zoom and traveling-back that was patented by the filmmaker in 1963, had been used in several Romanian films already, Huzum needed a whole transtrav film, not just a film with transtrav – and the French Radio-television offered him the chance. Inspired by the new French novel, the filmmaker breaks Paris’s chronological and geographical whole, and with it the chance for a classical narrative, with a timid beginning and an unhappy ending, of a couple bearing the entire anguish of the city.
