Gigabyte Trilogy -- 1998
|
It
is very difficult to explain just how good this film is. The work
has many surprises not the least of which is the films shocking
ending. I won't spoil that by writing about it here. Krogstad himself
said The Gigabyte Trilogy has taken 20 years for him to understand.
Well, here is what I can tell you: His TRILOGY, 20 years in the
thinking, is like a distillation of a lifetime of independent filmmaking.
This film is the embodiment of a principle: that Karl Krogstad is
a creature of unruly instincts unashamedly demonstrative about his
appetites. The film develops the means to express his condition.
Twenty years in the thinking you say....it seems more like the rain
falling off the Ponte Vechio. It appears to be spontaneous. This
film in the work of silk worms, that is to say, uneven and masterful.

| "It is useless to film where
it is possible to describe. Fortified with this thought, Krogstad
unveils to us the very face of filmmaking. Accepting every ornamental,
anecdotal, or symbolic intention, he achieves the past, even the finest,
that belong to the cinema as clearly as his. Krogstad is endeavoring to
fashion a new type of film (to the word new I attach the idea of
different), and exclude from it the idea of superiority or progress. In
filmmaking, any daring is legitimate that tends to augment the film's
power as cinema. Krogstad dares everything! His content is bizarre, his
editing-- shocking, and his ending dares leaving his audience in tears
offering no hope of recovery. You leave the theater as the filmmaker
himself has said "a bird having struck a plate glass window. This
is cinema at his apex! I recommend you see The Gigabyte Trilogy."
