Journeys From Berlin/1971 (1980), by Yvonne Rainer, 125 min.
Rainer Comes to film from dance / performance, in which she was one of the major figures during the 1960s. Journeys…, Her fourth and most recent feature length film, is a fascinating exploration of parallels between the psychological and the political. Personal concerns raised during a woman’s (Annette Michelson) psychoanalytic session and reflections on repression and terrorism in contemporary Germany are presented in a corresponding light. Throughout the film, the viewer is challenged into a new awareness of politics and the cinema.
