Reviews

“…This is how, through the filmmaker’s lens, we see Ziegler; his image fracturing into innumerable pieces and losing itself in the complexity of a man with a thousand (hidden) faces. When Ziegler approaches the glassed-in slab holding the stretcher on which Che’s corpse was laid, his body folds, his image, reflected in the glass, superimposed on that of the stretcher as if he were longing to take Che’s place. Despite all his hard-fought efforts, the regret of never having set foot on the battlefield needles Ziegler like an invisible wound, inflaming a sense of guilt that he will never overcome. Wadimoff tells us what Ziegler doesn’t want to reveal, using a language, film, known only to him. To take on Jean Ziegler through the medium of words would have been an impossible task, and so it is through film that the director closes in on his subject. Incapable of countering this thrust, Ziegler is conquered, acquiring a hue of humanity that suits him just perfectly.”
