YVONNE RAINER’S JOURNEYS FROM BERLIN/1971
1980, 125 min., color, sound. Yvonne Rainer’s fourth feature-length film is a fascinating exploration of the parallels between the psychological and the political. Specifically, the concerns raised during a woman’s psychoanalytic session with a therapist and certain observations on repression and terrorism in contemporary Germany are presented in a similar corresponding light. Throughout the film, the viewer is challenged toward a new awareness concerning politics and the cinema.
