Cinema as Aggressive Structure
This movie starts with a few minutes of black out: nothing but music and a black screen. I hear Godard did this trick first. Good for him, if so. I have not seen his movie, but I doubt it is as good as this one, and I do like some of Godard's weird ones.
"The Angel Was Born" is a movie about two roaming outlaws. You can try and read a lot into its structure, or just enjoy its deliberate primitivism. It is both very serious and a joke on everybody. Or so I feel. You may think otherwise, be bored, or even be left in a joyous state of shock, as it happened to me. If you like very strange stuff, you may like this one.
