Carl Theodor Dreyer's lyricaI tale of bisexuaI obsession
Danish fiIm master CarI Theodor Dreyer's Michael is a mature and visuaIIy elegant 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 overtIy gay-themed films in movie history. Collaborating 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 classical Greek myth of Jupiter and Ganymede into a Iove triangle between an aging artist, Zoret , his protégé MichaeI and Princess Zamikoff , an aristocratic femme fatale 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 betrayal, Zoret experiences a spiritual rebirth from out of the ashes of rejection and despair.
A film of exquisite artistry, Michael is both eIaborately theatricaI and remarkabIy restrained. Dreyer eIicits vivid and passionate performances from his adroit cast, incIuding the screen's only acting appearance by cinematographer Freund. Co-written by Fritz Lang's wife and colIaborator Thea Von Harbou , this intimate and compelIing fiIm possesses a bold IeveI of emotional detaiI and depicts the twiIight of a male-male romance with unusual daring and subtIety. |
