Raymonde Carasco,"On discovering the work of Raymonde Carasco – an exemplary poetic enterprise in contemporary cinema – suddenly it seems that film is at last accomplishing the ideals of German Romanticism. 'If you wish to enter into the depths of the physical', wrote Schlegel, 'you must first be initiated into the mysteries of poetry'. How can cinema reach the poetic truth of phenomena, how should the sensual description of appearances and particularities be converted into such a 'magnetic song'?" ——Nicole Brenez
