În 1951, filmul Westward The Women a fost lansat cu un succes modest. Regizat de William A. Wellman, filmul a fost o abatere de la westernurile tradiționale ale vremii, concentrându-se pe povestea unui grup de femei care călătoresc prin țară pentru a începe o nouă viață în California. În ciuda eșecului său inițial de a impresiona la box office, Westward The Women a câștigat popularitate și este acum considerat un clasic al cinematografiei anilor 50. Cu recenta sa lansare Blu-ray de la Warner Archive, este timpul să aruncăm o privire mai atentă asupra acestei bijuterii uitate.

On a winter's day, a woman stretches near a window then sits in a bathtub of water. She's happy. Her lover is nearby; there are close ups of her face, her pregnant belly, and his hands caressing her. She gives birth: we see the crowning of the baby's head, then the birth itself; we watch a pair of hands tie off and cut the umbilical cord. With the help of the attending hands, the mother expels the placenta. The infant, a baby girl, nurses. We return from time to time to the bath scene. By the end, dad's excited; mother and daughter rest.

Straub-Huillet’s first color film, adapts a lesser-known Corneille tragedy from 1664, which in turn was based on an episode of imperial court intrigue chronicled in Tacitus’s Histories. The costuming is classical, and the toga-clad, nonprofessional cast performs the drama’s original French text amid the ruins of Rome’s Palatine Hill while the noise of contemporary urban life hums in the background. Their lines are executed with a terrific flatness and frequently through heavy accents; the language in Othon becomes not merely an expression but a thing itself, an element whose plainness here alerts us to qualities of the work that might otherwise be subordinated.

Kanji este un japonez singur ce locuieste in Thainlanda, lucrand ca bibliotecar la Fundatia Japoneza din Bangkok. Tema sinuciderii are alte conotatii pentru el. [ Nu vreau sa ma sinucid din aceleasi motive pentru care o fac si restul sinucigasilor: probleme financiare, inima ranita, lipsa sperantei. Nu, nu eu. O multime de carti spun "a muri este linistitor." Stiati asta? Ca si cum ti-ai face siesta... inainte de a te trezi proaspat si pregatit sa incepi o noua viata....Este beatitudine.] Filmul se termina cu doua scene ce se exclud una pe alta, astfel incat imaginatia fiecaruia sa-si creeze propriul final. Una care-l arata pe Kanji ca fiind arestat pentru crima si cealalta ni-l indica reintors in orasul sau natal, Osaka, la tanara thailandeza Noi.
