Does Sony Vegas Suport Wma?

«Few of us» de Sharunas Bartas (1996)

Quelques plans d’une ville industrielle, là-bas à l’est. Une jeune femme qui contemple l’immensité des paysages sibériens à travers le hublot d’un hélicoptère. Puis la voilà larguée au milieu de nulle part. Que vient-elle chercher dans cette terre reculée? Peut-être retrouver ce sentiment de liberté pure, première, qui consiste simplement à mettre un pied devant l’autre, sans qu’aucun élément extérieur not come to impose a preferred direction ... This need is felt sometimes faced with a society in which life is directed arrow. But this is only personal suggestion because it is a film that explains nothing, it's "Few of us". The girl eventually reach a village where people live damned to which civilization has managed to bring the alcohol and weapons. A nation that is perhaps more a people endangered, as they say of an animal species. And the parallel is not insignificant: perhaps never life had been filmed, in its most instinctive, if not in the animal films. Bartas film dutifully gestures, faces, without comment, with a look somewhere between the poet, ethnologist and landscaping. A distant cousin of Derzou Ouzala smokes endlessly the same butt and shares his bread with the girl in a gesture to the natural and obviously that goes beyond words (which the film is also free), which brings us back to the origins sociality. An old woman asleep compulsively unveils a toothless mouth grimaces in the wake repetitive. It's hard ... Then the film changes pace a distant and primitive form of narration seems to be implemented. There's a party where they drink. Two men running around the girl (again we find a very animal behavior) is preparing a rape. Then a burst, a slap, a murder (or two?). We must flee. The young woman is followed by an Asian black look, which seems to protect it. He is stalked by a man who looks in the fog during a sequence that is reminiscent of the riders lost in the mist of the "Castle of the Spider." It was almost like watching a western tribal. The film ends with a shot. The girl now swollen face observed in the distance the helicopter comes to fetch her. The snow and cold invade the Sayan Mountains. End. It is superb. "Few of us" is a movie of this, a fascinating movie experience. [4 / 4]
