영화 <셜리의 모든 것>에 나타난 아방가르드 영화의 특성

The Quality of Avant-garde film in <Shirley-Visions of Reality>

Gustav Deutsch made a feature film, ‘Shirley-Vision of Reality’(2013) using Edward Hopper ‘s painting. The film is a Avant-garde film which not only broke boundaries among painting, photography, and film, but also reproduced the Hopper’aesthetics of art. ‘Shirley-Vision of Reality’ has a extraordinary filmic form that we could not find conventional narrative films. Time and space in ‘Shirley-Vision of Reality’delays and obstructs the flow of time in it. The absence of characters psychologically motivated and free of the principle of causality in‘Shirley-Vision of Reality’makes the time be able to place the theme of the film. The intensive visual motif in Hopper’s painting and Avant-garde aesthetics have the central mechanism in this film Without causality and action in film, time in film could connect and flow properly. Instead the volume of time in real world may be accumulated. The moments of film that is unstructured and accumulated ignores the everyday life makes the surplus of time. It is not conden sed. but expands in film, so reveals the existential understanding of human being. Even though Shirley ‘s life determined historical and political events such as e Great Depression and Hollywood blacklist, but she templated the single moments of her life. But in the same manner of the people in Hopper’s works, she is not able to deep bonds with other people and place in her circumstances.
