Zuoz

About This Movie

Zuoz is an intriguing piece, filmed in the serene landscapes of Switzerland, where the filmmaker Robert Beavers takes center stage skating on ice. The atmosphere is reflective, almost meditative, capturing the essence of stillness and movement in a unique way. Beavers’ presence adds a personal touch, and you can feel the weight of his artistic journey through the frame. The pacing is deliberate, inviting the viewer into a contemplative space that transcends the images. It's fascinating how this film connects with Aurand’s own evolution, illustrating a kind of rebirth in her work. There's a certain rawness here, a purity, that sets it apart from more polished cinematic experiences.

Zuoz has seen limited distribution and most copies are rather scarce, making it a point of interest for collectors. It's typically found in small art-house labels or as part of collections focused on experimental cinema. The triptych format it’s a part of adds a layer of context for those keen on understanding the connections between Beavers and Aurand. If you come across it, it might be worth considering, especially for those who appreciate the intersection of performance and landscape.
