Cripure

Cripure

A philosophical reflection on the world of this somewhat dark era!

1990 · 90 min · Drama

Theatrical recording of the play from "Black Blood": 1917 was the year during the Great War that nearly led to a revolution in France. At that time, Merlin was a modest but passionate professor. Nicknamed Cripure by his students, he spent most of his time reflecting on the human condition, in the light of God, which was supposed to exist. Filmed in Théâtre du Cothurne in Lyon.

Directed by Alexandre Tarta

The three main soloists have voices on a scale that can compete with these flashy production values – White and Kasarova, in particular, sing at a level of intensity that would swamp anything less; the climactic seduction trio has rarely been sung so well or with such an overpoweringly polymorphous eroticism. Cambreling marshals his forces effectively, giving full rein to the work's showstoppers like the "Hungarian March" but not neglecting the subtler less kinetic Gluckian side of Berlioz's vocal writing. Recorded live at the Salzburger Festspiele, 1999.

It's San Francisco in 1957, and an American masterpiece is put on trial. Howl, the film, recounts this dark moment using three interwoven threads: the tumultuous life events that led a young Allen Ginsberg to find his true voice as an artist, society's reaction (the obscenity trial), and mind-expanding animation that echoes the startling originality of the poem itself. All three coalesce in a genre-bending hybrid that brilliantly captures a pivotal moment-the birth of a counterculture.
