“Seven Veils” is the latest film to reconsider how much value we put into an artist’s pain

A few years ago, it was reported that one of the most influential faces in the world in music, Lydia Tar – a student of the composer and the Great Mosque Leonard Bernstein – I faced a special worrying group of students in New York Gilliard Music School. During a session of her master’s degree, Tar told the students that their concerns about the performance of an article written by Johann Sebastian Bach are baseless. They were concerned about the performance of a piece written by another white male, and according to Tar, external concerns of the conversation that had nothing to do with the same music. “If you want to dance to the mask, you must serve the composer,” said Tar, in reference to Cultural offers The dancers seek to lose their identity by assuming a person’s archers or anything else. “You have to hear yourself, me, and yes, your identity. You must stand in front of the audience and God blur yourself.”

Of course, all this is only half of the right. Tar is not a real person, but a mixture of vanity from the world of fine arts, which she plays Kate Blanchett And brilliant seizure in the movie Todd Field 2022 “Tar”. The belief of the title of the title is that one must destroy the identity of the individual and his independence to perform a piece of success completely incorrect, although many within the arts will differ. In Field, the writer and director Slyly clarifies high characters in ballet worlds, opera, theater and cement, as well as the most famous people in industries facing movies and music. His imaginary connection is an encryption of all ways in which strength and influence can affect an artist, and a number of belief that great art is born not only through suffering, but by creating a vacuum in which suffering can continue. “Tar” occurs inside this void, as Mosul spreads this great legend to maintain its control.

We see the life of Tar and his professional life, in which the composer was built carefully for decades, collapsing its own hand. The field turns into a long belief that artists must suffer from their work on his head, which puts the road ATOM EGIAN’s A new movie “Seven Veils” to explore these topics at a more beloved level. Although “Seven Veils” cannot be denied like something like “Tár”, it is a convincing study of changing belief about the extent of the creation of wonderful art, by contemporary norms. Instead of photographing another woman who crushed her ambition – fighting in order to be seen as equal to her abundant male peers and loses her identity to art in this process – distributes this trend. “Seven Veils” allows the Virtuoso Lead character to treat its trauma through art rather than destroy it. Egoian takes a different approach in a story often, to become a challenging model for the world of thinking forward as there can be a wonderful art by admitting suffering rather than forcing the artist to bear it.

In “Seven Veils”, a young, but promising regional theater director, Janine (Amanda SefredThe “Salome” opera, which was originally brought out by its recently died teacher. It was a revival directed by Janein’s specific Charles security that dies, and starting with Charles’s request after his death, Egoyan slowly overlooks an evil spinning that passes in the last moments of the movie. As it turned out, Janin has a disturbing relationship with the “Salome” story, especially Charles’s high production, and the production of multimedia, and includes video clips and dance shades that were shown on a large white sheet. Janein starts to make “small but meaningful” changes on the show, but it was met with a decline from the theater company, who want to honor Charles’s request by re -viewing the offer as before.

But things are now different from what they were at that time. Janine, a teenager when Charles’s production of “Salome” was initially, was no longer under the talisman of her teacher. Through a new perspective, two jerseys can determine the parts of their life that converge with the Charles version of “Salome”, which speculates the abuse between the luxury character and her father. Egoyan is a scenes at the present time with the home video clips of Jenin as a child, her father, blindfolded, blindfolded and exotic dances in the forest. Egoyan puts all parts of Gaza shown since the beginning of “Seven Veils”, but the suspense comes from watching and moving them gently in place. One of this justified revelation comes when we realize that videos in “Salome” Charles are a recreation for Janine’s home films. At this moment, Egoian asks to think about all the possibilities of nausea surrounding this fact.

Janine, however, is not firm. One wonders why it agreed to reproduce production, which appears to be a little extension of life shock, and this is an explicit answer to Igi. But his cold Ghamo enables the mind to wander. Viewers watch the role of Janine who thinks about the motives of each character and internal ideas, and dictate them to artists on the stage and their preparations. She shows her own display in the show that was formed to create something similar to Charles’s dark vision, but it is different enough to be her property. Although she dangerously approaches the abyss to her pain, she captures herself before it is too late. Janine does not give in to her shock, but she challenges her grip on her. Where Charles and her father rose to greatness by misuse of their authority in the name of art, Janein aims to glory by restoring the power that these men took from it. She does not blur herself, as Tar requests – release herself.

There is a reason that makes this narration very uncomfortable in a movie like this: The original “tormented artist” is still one of the most wonderful objective models in telling stories, partly because his narration is widely believed in real life. From the tragedy of “The Red Shoes” to “Swan Black”, we saw films depicting the pain that artists often suffer as a wonderful art creation. These films ask questions forward to our reality Heath Ledger He was nominated after his death in the Academy Award for his role as a Joker in “Dark knight“Or when Jeremy strong Practices “The spread of identity“Only to make some good rings from”succession“The issue of the extent of public art on humanity is a permanent matter, which increases its complexity only from the fact that men Control The world of fine arts. Since men primarily have a platform to ask whether your identity loss is of any value, they will also be the ones who promote the perfect ideal ideal using patriarchal strength systems in sub -culture sections.

This does not mean that films such as “Seven Veils” and “Tár”, which are written and faced by men, this old idea presents that artists should suffer for a great work. Instead, they are two modern examples of this idea. Tar wants many men who control her manufacture and abuse their strength to the point that she is all losing a sense of himself as a woman in the arts. By the time when she was giving up on the top, she left her character behind her. Once she settles in this space at the highest level, and finally got a recognition from the audience and men who now consider it a counterpart, giving up her identity to take over, and inherits all their predatory and narcissistic features. It is some of the perspective of sacrificing art, and in the end it became the enemy that I spent in the years.

Other prominent figures who walk in this same path did not until the privilege of staying at the top as long as Tar did so before they returned to dig their artistic torment. In “Black Swan”, Natalie Portman Nina’s character is pushed to the brink of the abyss by the psychological psychological demands of the ballet director, Thomas (Vincent Cassel). She is starving and practicing it until she suffers and bleeds, but there is nothing enough, especially when she moves a new enemy to Nina and threatens her place. And in the “opening night”, Gina RolandsThe actress descends the wonderful stage that has been tortured by Mertel to addiction, tortured by ghost visions and suspicious suspicion. Similar to “Black Swan”, the Myrtle director presses it to continue a new play despite knowing that it is fine, and the lowest moment of Myrtle becomes more artistic.

I was reminded of all these works while listening to a conversation interview Which – which lady gaga The New York Times gave, whether in printing or registered in a passionate companion Podcast episode. David Marshaz Gaga asked about the feeling of clear satisfaction in her wonderful new album.Chaos“And whether this feeling has led to any doubt, given the idea that the great art is born of suffering. Gaga said:“ I think that the identification of sick artists permeates this very negative thing, especially for women. ”At a certain stage, I completely lost contact with reality. I was deeply dropped in my artistic imagination and my theatrical personality. . . I will not say that falling deeper into a life is a good torture figure for anything. “

However, despite the knowledge that comes from years of experience, resisting the tendency to delve into your work will be always difficult. Art requires a lot of creators and performance artists. Even medium objects can produce a major internal struggle, as artists make sure how to make work a better average. That is why we, as viewers, are like it. There is a clear and humanitarian thing about the extent of artists’ interest in the desire to be great – this is why the original model of the tormented artist will always be present with the art, because the process can be interesting like the same work, even if it is terrified. But losing reality communication will not serve art more than just a clear head. Even more than an inner feeling, wonderful art really results in new conversations, and this field on how to create it without giving up yourself in this process is just a beginning.
