Lucebert, Time and Farewell

About This Movie

So, this film, 'Lucebert, Time and Farewell', is a fascinating dive into the world of Lucebert, who was a painter and poet, and frankly, a pretty interesting character. It's made up of three segments, directed by Johan van der Keuken, who was a close friend of Lucebert. The black-and-white aesthetic gives it this raw, almost intimate feel. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in Lucebert's thoughts and art. It's not flashy but rather grounded, showcasing the simplicity yet depth of his work. You'll find the themes of mortality and the creative process woven throughout, which is quite poignant considering Lucebert passed in '94, shortly after this was made. Definitely has that reflective vibe that makes you think.
