Die Frau in den Dünen

Sand, dunes, crawling creatures, the human body—fragmented, broken apart, and reassembled in this composition that treats image and music as equals. Details down to the macroscopic level tell a story of passion. Feverish embraces, struggle, flowing sand, despair, and trance: it’s impossible to watch this film without feeling grains of sand between your lips and getting thirsty. (Walter Ruggle)
