Bussotti par Lui-même is a fascinating exploration of the relationship between sound and performance, really unique in its approach. The film feels less like a traditional narrative and more like an art piece, capturing the essence of theatricality through its various segments. The pacing can be a bit languid, but it allows the viewer to really immerse themselves in the textures of sound and movement. The performances by Ross, Cardini, Gomez, Amidei, and Rocco offer a variety of interpretations, adding layers to the viewing experience. It’s a curious mix of documentary and manifesto, making for an intriguing watch that might not be everyone’s cup of tea but definitely stands out in the realm of experimental cinema.
This film isn't particularly easy to find in standard formats, which has created a niche collector interest. Original prints and early VHS releases tend to be quite scarce, making it a sought-after item for those into experimental cinema or the works of Bussotti. Keep an eye out for any screenings or special collections that may pop up, as it’s the kind of film that often surfaces in underground film festivals or curated art house events.
