(ThisarticlewasoriginallypublishedinTagesspiegelon8January2009.HelmutMerkerisafilmcritic.)《资本论电影网友评论》83min版本,影像化理論展示,戈達爾式的影像風格,以文字和影像的衝突,畫外音與對白及獨白的衝突,大眾音樂與古典音樂的衝突還原愛森斯坦的野心,字體的情緒表現,用被消費的文化偶像去閱讀解剖消費的馬克思原文,也許因為看的並不是完整版,覺得在某些方面並非深入,但總的來說十分精彩.西装革履，钢琴歌剧，进行曲中聊罢工，演说集下谈阶级，金钱人格化，价值虚幻化，法学博士的艺术家，古典的后现代，"煤油"灯下，扯着资本论。。。呵呵呵呵哈(小资们读／看资本论，会精神分裂的么？)借不同阶层的嘴读出资本论，极具讽刺意义。世界失序已久。Duetohumanweakness.427SéanceprésentéeparAlexanderKluge聒噪估计是学识不够吧，看到第二部就没再看下去了。明白其手法了，但是并没有特别的感觉。不同字体和音乐以及它们具有的生命节奏去表情和表意还是挺不错的。3月马上在北京和杭州组织多场放映。之前只溜达过德文版。现在手里有中英文两个文字版，本周即可见成品。无论如何，是不可以错过的力作收获就是新鲜感题材▲干嘛非要懂干嘛不装懂还是不懂hahah配乐不错=v=没能坚持看完。为此意气用事非要跳过某老师的报告我后悔不迭！相对电影之后的扯淡讨论会，电影显得要容易忍受多了。剧场版。看在老马和爱胖的份上，就不黑了。放全本的时候还是值得再看一下的太长了...一段一段看...带英文字幕83分钟剧场版。 [收起]
