\u00a0watched the film Sentimental Value and, after a long time, I once again tasted the pleasure of seeing a truly great and truly artistic film. The film begins with a house and ends with a house.<\/h6>\n

Kabul 24<\/a>: \u201cThe house\u201d is the main character of Sentimental Value: a beautiful, living, wounded house. In the very first shots of the film, the camera circles around the house: we see the house, its cracks, its half-dark rooms, its stairs and windows and curtains, the scattered objects left behind from a past that has vanished.The narrator\u2019s voice speaks from the house<\/a>.<\/p>\n

About what the house wants: Does it want to be full or empty? Do its walls feel tickled? What about pain?<\/p>\n

In this film, \u201cthe house\u201d is not merely a place where the main characters live; it is one of them, it is them. Without this house they are incomplete; they simply do not exist. It is in this house that they were born, died, committed suicide.<\/p>\n

The film not only begins with the house and ends with the house, but the house is also meant to be the subject of a film that one of the main characters is making: he is shooting a film inside this particular house, about this particular house. The house is both the location of the filming and the subject of the film.<\/p>\n

A film that is entirely about one specific house has been made in such a particular way that it is also about \u201cthe house-as-a-shared-human-experience\u201d: about my house, your house, our house.<\/p>\n
