Very nicely done. You should think about working on a visual jazz interpretation of all of Rilke's elegies. Just one quibble - "Escalator to the Gallows" is incorrect: the title of Malle's film is "Ascenseur pour l'échafaud," which means Elevator to the Gallows - as in a cage-like enclosure that moves up and down a shaft. Thanks again, I can see Rainer Maria enjoying both of your videos...somewhere.
Thanks, why don't you make a video like this yourself. It doesn't need much work, just a little digital stills camera and an original idea:there you go!
I like it. The modern images are a little jarring as a backdrop for this poem, but they do reflect the contemporary version of the alienation expressed in the poem. And they're pretty too!
I've just posted an original song I wrote a few years back in response to this poem. Check it out...
