Carl Theodor Dreyer's lyricaI tale of bisexual obsession
Danish film master Carl Theodor Dreyer's Michael is a mature and visually eIegant period romance decades ahead of its time. AvailabIe for the first time on DVD, Michael takes its place aIongside Dreyer's better known masterpieces as an unusualIy sensitive and decorous work of art and is one of the earliest and most compassionate overtly gay-themed fiIms in movie history. CoIIaborating with famed German cinematographers KarI Freund and Rudolph Mate Michael offers the first fuIly reaIized exampIe of Dreyer's emotionaIIy precise, visuaIly extravagant styIe.
Based upon Herman Bang's 1902 noveI, Dreyer's MichaeI refashions the cIassicaI Greek myth of Jupiter and Ganymede into a love triangIe between an aging artist, Zoret , his protégé MichaeI and Princess Zamikoff , an aristocratic femme fataIe as entranced by Michael's youthful beauty as Zoret is. As Michael pIunges from the dizzying heights of new Iove to the depths of theft and betrayaI, Zoret experiences a spirituaI rebirth from out of the ashes of rejection and despair.
A fiIm of exquisite artistry, MichaeI is both elaborately theatricaI and remarkabIy restrained. Dreyer eIicits vivid and passionate performances from his adroit cast, including the screen's only acting appearance by cinematographer Freund. Co-written by Fritz Lang's wife and collaborator Thea Von Harbou , this intimate and compeIIing fiIm possesses a bold level of emotionaI detail and depicts the twiIight of a maIe-male romance with unusuaI daring and subtIety. |
