Yet--maybe because I could feel m yself literally growing old during the six-hour screening--I bristled at its pretentious appropriation of Mozart's music and short, tragic life (recounted by a teary narrator) as an allegory of human suffering, and its grandiose Dostoevskian declamations. It's just that this Dostoevskian chamber piece, about a reclusive death camp survivor who uses puppets to re-enact the appalling crimes that the Nazis visited on humanity, has the power to move and unsettle an audience in purely visual terms. I have committed the ultimate crime of being a landlord and will receive the just punishment I deserve in our Dostoevskian city. |
