Maître Mathis (2008)

How can places where fights for freedom have taken place, like here, reflect on history? One function of cinema is to ponder this relationship by filming the landscape as a sensitive surface where we try to bring out, with the necessary tools for image and sound, a certain figure of the past. It reveals itself by merging with the present in a loud echo that restores its full political dimension. With an artist (Grünewald) who was engaged in the Peasants' War (1525).
