Deep Gold

Edición de la obra Deep Gold

The black and white film 'Deep Gold' is a homage to a scene from Luis Buñuel's surrealistic classic L'Âge d'Or, 1930. Julian Rosefeldt (born 1965 in Munich, lives and works in Berlin) transposes the events In a nightclub in the Berlin of the 1920s, in whose large-town surroundings different worlds interact. Thus the film is an extension of the relentless linguistic and religious criticism of the Spanish surrealist: the challenge of a repressive sexual morality, the resolution of the given gender and the appeal to an emancipation that never precludes the power of female sexuality. Rosefeldt draws parallels between the economic situation of the 1920s and today and questions the cultural consequences of the sexual revolution. The linguistic leaps between times and spaces always say something superhuman. The book with texts by Dorothée Brill and Angela Stief documents the film with numerous filmstills.
