So, 'What Should One Do. - In Delight?' is a rather intriguing piece, really. It dives into the correspondence between Rosa Luxemburg and Rosa Liebknecht during their tumultuous times, captured beautifully through Astrid Johanna Ofner's lens. The film blends poetic visuals of Berlin and Vienna with those profound letters from 1917-1918, creating this contemplative atmosphere. There’s a rhythm to the narrative that feels almost meditative, like the ebb and flow of their thoughts on love and struggle. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the emotional weight of their words. The overall tone feels both intimate and expansive—it's a hard film to categorize since it's more a film essay than traditional narrative, but that’s what makes it kind of special.
This film has seen limited releases, making it somewhat hard to find. There’s a certain niche interest among collectors who appreciate political history intertwined with personal narratives. The unique format of it being a film essay adds to its scarcity as it isn’t trying to fit conventional molds, drawing in those who seek out experimental works. Collectors might want to keep an eye on any future releases or special editions, as this will likely appeal to a specific audience interested in both the historical context and the artistic interpretation of that era.
