Quote:
By the time Michelangelo Antonioni released Michelangelo Eye to EyeBeyond the Clouds in 1995, his keen sense of patient, intimate observation had seemed to give way to a kind of leering, gratuitous voyeurism in the film's repeated, over-lingering shots of the female form. It is, however, precisely this painstaking attention to the voluptuousness of form and tactileness of surfaces that makes his subsequent short film, Michelangelo Eye to Eye particularly sensual and textural in its execution. Prefaced with a text description of the filmmaker's recent health problems (in particular, a debilitating stroke that left him partially paralyzed), the film opens with a shot of a frail Antonioni emerging from the shadows as he walks in slow, awkward gait into an unpopulated hall where Michelangelo Buonarotti's marble statue of Moses - a scaled down version of an ambitiously conceived wall tomb for Pope Julius II - is once again in display after a period of meticulous restoration. Composed of a series of detailed observations of the sculpture's composition from several camera angles and vantage points, Antonioni continually refocuses to the shot of Moses' opaque gaze - an image that is sublimely matched by the filmmaker's own occluded, returned gaze as he examines the object of his attention through limpid, watery eyes. In addition to creating a thorough, meticulous, and deliberative objective study of the Renaissance sculpture's robust physical form and timeless, universal beauty, Antonioni's juxtaposition of his own weakened, aging frame against the larger-than-life sculpture of Moses creates an indelible, thoughtful, and poignant image on human frailty, transience, creative compromise, and the enduring legacy of - and mortal transcendence through - enlightened art.

本片是一部关于南斯拉夫乐队“无烟地带”的纪录片，由南斯拉夫著名导演埃米尔•库斯图里卡（Emir Kusturica）执导，他作为该乐队的贝斯手也出现在影片中。影片记录了“无烟地带”乐团2000年在欧洲巡演的经历，中间夹杂着乐手们关于成长历程的叙述，以及后台闲谈、排练的片段。影片结构也很有特色，乐队前台表演的画面使用彩色胶片拍摄，而表演后台的花絮以及乐队自述都采用粗糙的黑白影像来表现，形成强烈的对比。乐团一路欢唱，将巴尔干庞克的狂野与疯癫、欢乐与凄苦充分表现在他们的嬉笑欢腾与玩世不恭中。在巡演过程中，他们坚持追寻南斯拉夫的音乐根源，并希冀加入现代的摇滚元素重新构建自己的独特音乐风格。
本片获得2001年美国芝加哥国际影展最佳纪录片银盘奖。
