Synopsis

« AMOR est un exquis poème lyrique, tourné à Rome et dans le théâtre naturel de Salzburg. Les sons récurrents du découpage du tissu, des applaudissements, des martèlements, des tapotements, soulignent les associations par le montage de brefs mouvements de caméra, qui relient la fabrication d’un costume, la restauration d’un bâtiment, et les détails d’un visage, vraisemblablement de Beavers lui-même, qui se tient au milieu du théâtre naturel dans un costume neuf, faisant une série de gestes et de mouvements des mains. Un billet de banque italien joliment conçu suggère l’économie esthétique du film : la taille, le découpage et le ciselage renvoient au montage du film lui-même. » P. Adams Sitney, Film Comment

AMOR is an exquisite lyric, shot in Rome and at the natural theatre of Salzburg. The recurring sounds of cutting cloth, hands clapping, hammering, and tapping underline the associations of the montage of short camera movements, which bring together the making of a suit, the restoration of a building, and details of a figure, presumably Beavers himself, standing in the natural theatre in a new suit, making a series of hand movements and gestures. A handsomely designed Italian banknote suggests the aesthetic economy of the film: the tailoring, trimming, and chiseling point to the editing of the film itself.” P. Adams Sitney, Film Comment
