《雕像也会死亡》（Les statues meurent aussi，阿兰·雷乃、克里斯·马尔凯，1953年出品，27分钟）尖锐地批评了西方殖民主义对非洲传统艺术的戕害以及自称热爱非洲艺术的上等阶层的贪婪与伪善。本片的主角是来自黑非洲的人物雕像、面具和其他非洲艺术品，但是它们的演出场所并非黑人的故乡，而是白人的欧洲，艺术品市场和艺术品拍卖会是它们频频出没和滞留的中转地。这些本来被非洲部族用来抵抗死亡的面具和雕像，如今却呆在博物馆的橱窗里静静地死去。此时，画外音告诉我们：“当人死去的时候，他便进入了历史；当这些雕像死去的时候，它们进入了艺术；这种关于死亡的学问，我们最后称之为文化。”由于本片具有鲜明而强烈的社会批判意识，自拍竣之日起即遭到法国政府禁映，直到1963年才解禁。本片由长于剪辑的阿兰·雷乃操刀剪辑，由强于写作的克里斯·马尔凯撰写解说，充分发挥...。Herbert Vesely was one of the promises for a new German cinema already in the 50's, but after the 60's his star was already dimmed. He made a small number of films in the 70's and 80's, all non too good. This biography of Egon Schiele, one of the most important Austrian artists, is an example of the pretensions and emptiness of a Vesely-film of later date. The life of Schiele is presented here as a puzzle| well, Vesely thinks that Schiele's life was a puzzle: the core of the story is centered around the famous 1912 pornography trial and using this as base the film shows fragments of past and future. The problem is that it never becomes a unity and that the order of scenes and sequences seems to be at random: a cut-and-paste job that could have had any other result. Indeed, after seeing it twice I am almost convinced of it that a unsatisfactory linear thought-out film was changed into the puzzle in the editing room. Egon Schiele was an enigmatic man, but not a total puzzle, and this film does not bring him any closer. The films also fails in conveying the eroticism and meaning of the Schiele's paintings: the camera watches and glides over the models without any understanding of Schiele's intentions, we only see beautiful naked bodies. If interested in Schiele, you better buy a book with his works in stead.。
