Those Shocking Shaking Days
“Which guerilla liberation force would you join if you had the choice
between two possible styles of liberation work?” reads the question posed at the very get-go of Selma Doborac’s film essay
which proceeds over the course of the next 80 minutes to ask with unremitting intensity whether cinematic means can be used
to represent the phenomenon war. Is this even possible given the Medusa head of war, perpetually sprouting yet another coiling
aspect of the human abyss? Who feels addressed by this question? Who knows what a person engaged by this question imagines?
(Hanno Millesi)
