Dirt<\/em> est une longue m\u00e9ditation po\u00e9tique sur la relation am\u00e9ricaine au sol et aux \u00e9nergies qui y sont enfouies. Les notions de \u00ab salet\u00e9 \u00bb et de \u00ab propret\u00e9 \u00bb sont revisit\u00e9es. Des si\u00e8cles d\u2019histoire, de conqu\u00eate et de reconqu\u00eate se trouvent sous nos pieds, et le retour des vaincus est in\u00e9vitable. Il y a aussi toujours eu une possibilit\u00e9 alternative, au sein du paysage am\u00e9ricain, inspir\u00e9e par la culture autochtone, d’une relation plus apais\u00e9e avec la terre, lieu de repos de nos anc\u00eatres. Collage d’images po\u00e9tiques, de musique et de langage invocateur, le film suit deux hommes dans une s\u00e9rie d’exp\u00e9riences \u00e9sot\u00e9riques. Leurs paroles nous entra\u00eenent dans des paysages inattendus, peupl\u00e9s de grille-pain vengeurs, de violons volants, d’une partie de tennis insolite et d’un sommet de montagne couronn\u00e9 d’une guitare \u00e9lectrique. Op\u00e9ra vid\u00e9o postmoderne, Dirt<\/em> baigne le spectateur dans la musique, le langage et le spectacle visuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dirt is an extended poetic meditation on the American relation to the soil, and the energies buried within it. Notions of \u201cdirtiness\u201d and \u201ccleanliness\u201d are re-examined. Centuries of history, of conquering and re-conquering, lie beneath our feet, and the return of the vanquished is inevitable. There has also always been an alternative possibility, within the American landscape, inspired by indigenous culture, of a more peaceful relationship with the soil, the resting place of our ancestors. A collage of poetic imagery, music, and invocatory language, the film follows two men in a series of esoteric experiments. Their words take us to unexpected landscapes, populated by revengeful toasters, flying fiddles, an unusual game of tennis, and a mountaintop crowned with an electric guitar. A postmodern video opera, <\/em>Dirt bathes the viewer in music, language, and visual spectacle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
