A Boring Film with Good Music = A Boring Film
Werner Herzog's short film, LA BOHÉME is, even by a fan of the director's work, not much. The general idea of the film is to show shots of Ethiopian people against one of the more famous arias of the opera: La Bohéme. It is clear that Herzog's vision is to evoke an uncomfortable beauty. Especially for Americans, who thinks of beauty in the form of the people within an Ethiopian tribe? The problem with this statement, however, is that I did not find any beauty within the Ethiopian tribe. Neither, I believe does Herzog. Rather, I think the provocative statement is more attractive to him, and the reality that we find things that are beautiful within our own realm of preferences in truer.La Bohéme: ★★
