Blue Grass Dreams
Last night I dreamt that I went to a screening of Resnais' Wild Grass, a film I've yet to see in my waking life. In my dream, the movie was made up exclusively of long duration, fixed camera shots, where in each shot, the left two thirds of the frame seems to have been painted over with green or blue paint. I somehow knew that this had been done by hand: Resnais himself had painted over the film, frame by frame, so that almost all of the action was obscured and we in the audience had to guess what was going on in the part of the image now covnered by paint.
