Hi all -
I'm hoping someone out there might be able to help. I'm trying to track
down a couple films I saw many years ago but of which I am completely
unable to remember the names or maker. I hoping it'll be obvious to
some of you. I remember details vividly still, because they were such
vivid, keenly shot films. Here's what I remember:
- "documentary" films;
- shot on film, with color and sound
- filmmaker is from Eastern Europe, maybe?;
- observational; no dialogue, no interviews;
- one was set in a slaughterhouse, with much sharpening of knives, blood
and relentless scrubbing, but no explicit depiction of the actual
killing. Lots of close-ups, little in the way of establishing shots to
orient oneself in the space;
- The other was set at a hot spring where people go to get healed,
perhaps? Many shots of elderly people with beautiful, wrinkled faces
soaking in the water; maybe has a Latin title? Similar formal approach
as the first one;
Does this ring any bells?
Thanks for any help!
Carl
