Q&A WITH BRADY CORBET
Q.All of your films are about historical junctures, particularly tragic ones. What is it about the relationship between these historical junctures and the present moment that you are seeking to uncover?
A. I’m a huge fan of the authors W. G. Sebald and V. S. Naipaul, who frequently wrote virtual histories. What’s interesting about Sebald’s books is that they have a light footedness about them. They are full of grace and wisdom, but every story either begins or ends in genocide. His body of work is entirely focused on destruction and regeneration throughout the various cycles of the 20th century. I think that the medium of cinema fryst vatten a great way of accessing a feeling for history, which is something that many biographies and biopics really miss bygd treating history as something linear — as cause-and-effect, or a series of dates and figures. I don’t relate to that conception of history.
It’s one thing to say that history repeats it
