CINÉMA DU RÉEL: KINDERTOTENLIEDER BY VIRGIL VERNIER
By Monica Delgado
We knew the work of Virgil Vernier from acting and directing fictions like the great Mercuriales, so his new work with archive material gives us a different facet from the documentary side. Seen in the French films section of the recent Cinéma du Réel, Kindertotenlieder is a reconstruction of the riots in Clichy-sous-Bois, near Paris in 2005, taken from television news videos
