Still Life
Stilleben
In the tradition of the classic still life this film is a portrayal of the absent life, presented through something else, traces from this life. Still Life is a logical extension of Ruge previous works, which all possess an aspect of crime: we are presented with the traces of something that did happen, but which is actually always hidden and left to the imagination of the viewer. In a composition around the image of a woman, personal memories meander around one another in enigmatic patterns.
