Artemide’s Knee

About This Movie

Artemide’s Knee is a raw exploration of grief, primarily seen through the lens of music and the natural world. The film captures a haunting atmosphere, especially with Kathleen Ferrier's rendition of Mahler's 'The Farewell,' which is almost like a character in itself. The pacing is deliberate; it meanders through moments of reflection and melancholy, allowing viewers to feel the weight of loss. The blend of drama and music creates an intimate space where the protagonist, grappling with the death of Danièle Huillet, finds solace. It’s not flashy, but rather grounded, with a contemplative tone that resonates deeply. The practical effects are subtle, emphasizing the raw beauty of the environment and the emotional landscape, making it quite distinctive in its quietude.
