Triste is an indication of the level of cinema language that I have been working towards. By delicately shifting the weight and solidity of the images, and bringing together subject matter not ordinarily associated, a deeper sense of impermanence and mystery can open. The images are as much pure-energy objects as representations of verbal understanding and the screen itself is transformed into a 'speaking' character. The 'sadness' referred to in the title is more the struggle of the film itself to become a film as such, rather than some pervasive mood. (ND)
