Cate Blanchett slips into the skins of 13 characters in this emphatically experimental project from German artist and film-maker Julian Rosefeldt. In the guise of, among others, a news anchor, a vagrant, a puppeteer and a schoolteacher, Blanchett performs sections of artists’ manifestos culled from the likes of the dadaists, the situationists, Fluxus and Dogma 95. It’s an intriguing idea, visually arresting and intellectually confrontational. It is not without problems, however. It’s a device which brings out Blanchett’s more mannered tendencies, and as such it won’t appeal to everyone. And for all Blanchett’s forceful presence, by divorcing the texts from their original context, the film effectively neuters the writing and revolutionary ideas. The project was initially concieved as a multi-screen art installation. I think I would have preferred to experience it in that form, rather than see its ambitions constrained within a feature film.
