Filmed every day over two months, Erice’s beautiful, precise and profound documentation of the creative process of painter Antonio López Garcia attempts to capture the shifting temporal and material qualities of nature, light and life and brings together many of the director’s overriding preoccupations in a Kiarostami-like fusion of documentary and fiction.
Moving between the eternal and the quotidian, the work of art and daily life, Erice explores the flow, passing and stilling of time in a fashion that characterises “every work of artistic creation” seeking “permanence” (Erice). Screening in the revised and restored director’s cut from 2017.
