Passage à l’acte / Austria / 1993
Martin Arnold’s 1993 film remixes a banal scene from To Kill a Mockingbird in which Gregory Peck dolefully sends his children off to school after a wholesome breakfast. Frame-by-frame, the scene is diced up and deconstructed so that the characters repeat syllables and slight gestures in stuttering, robotic rhythms. The result is a bizarre, hilarious, and rather toe-tapping meditation on the apparatus of the movies and the minutiae it makes available to us; its effect is that of watching our favorite scene from our favorite movie over and over again until the figures onscreen become automatons whose every gesture becomes circumscribed by our watching it.
