Matjaž Klopčič: Ljubljana the Beloved
Feature film, 110 min, 2005
Wednesday, 9 March 2016 at 6 p.m.
Klopčič's last feature film, shot two years before his death, irrevocably marks the end of a »classical«, modernist era of Slovenian arthouse cinema, inspired by post-war European art cinema and contemporary aesthetic and existential explorations. Given the changes in the social function of cinema in the independent republic (and the changes in production conditions themselves), Klopčič's last homage to Ljubljana seems anachronistic; but despite that, the full extent of the author's film intelligence and sensuality is readily apparent, and the viewer can recognise the outline of a work which could have been fully realised, had the time and situation been more favourable.
