The Old Man Who Read Love Stories
M
Rolf de Heer,
115 mins,
Australia/France/Spain/Netherlands,
2001.
Set in the Amazon jungle, this film centres on Antonio Bolivar (Richard Dreyfuss), a 60-year-old recluse with a passion for love stories.
This lecture explores Rolf de Heer's representation of the positive and negative forces at the heart of human nature. A central focus is the richness of the filmic language used to convey the connections and dislocations that define both Antonio's personal story and the landscape he inhabits.
This program can also be requested as an ESL session.
