just a filmmaker trying to thrust greatness upon himself, the weight of that ambition crushing the film beneath it. less some grand statement than an overwrought monument to its own aspirations. cool title sequence.

Ahh to be an ambassador’s wife in the early 20th century who takes up sculpting because she’s bored, becomes a famous artist, has an affair with marcel duchamp, knows carmen miranda, frida kahlo, pablo picasso and buys a mondrian from piet mondrian himself and donates it to the moMA

Here and Elsewhere 1976
This could be an interesting essay about the limitations of trying to portray reality in cinema and how artificiality will always be present, though that argument seems so obvious and even a little dishonest when he originally made the conscious choice of making a propaganda film, and admits to staging many aspects of it. Or it could still be about the struggle of the Palestinian people the original film was trying — though not very truthfully — to portray, but it is mostly just too preoccupied with its own post-modernism to be either.
