"The work is a found footage work: i.e., a montage of short clips from existing films. The films are from all over the world, including Fran c e, mainland China, Hong Kong, India, the US, etc. Each of the clips shows an image of a clock marking the time. The work lasts for 24 hours, and it is synchronized with the time of the location where it is shown. For instance, if you see the work in London and it is now 11:25 AM, then you will see on the screen a clock or watch pointing at exactly that time. It has been shown in London, New York, and Venice. It received an award in Venice. " - Hector RODRIGUEZ http://www.whitecube.com/exhibitions/cm/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Marclay

Let's put it straight:the screenplay of "la red" is trite to a fault.So why is it so mesmerizing? It must be the form.Visually,it's a splendor: few directors can take advantage of the seaside landscapes as Emilio Fernandez did:think Lean' s "Ryan's daughter" or Jean Grémillon's "Remorques".Some will say that the symbolism -a breaker- is ponderous.The director was probably influenced by Bunuel for symbols abound.There's a big difference though:whereas Bunuel's obsessions often deal with sex cum religion,"la red" is thoroughly pagan.Rossanna Podesta epitomizes some kind of Goddess,of Eve before the fall .A Madonna's face but a sensual body and a false innocence :it was not surprising Robert Wise would cast her as Helen of Troy. Even more disturbing than the threatening omnipresence of the sea is the script: 75% of "la red " is devoid of any dialog.Looks and smiles tell everything (the meal is a good example) Two males and a female ,that's no good,one character says.All are caught up in "the net " (the beach ) ,a dead end.The only way to get out of this world is the sea.
