Title: Terrible PowerPoint
Review: This is a terrible PowerPoint, not a film. It relies on sophomoric formal criticism that is dry and completely unrelated to the world Klee lived in, inner or outer. There is a mention of the Bauhaus, but none of World Wars I and II. Klee was conscripted in the German army in World War I and before World War II he was forced to leave Germany due to Nazi policies against modernist art.Klee was one of the most articulate and poetic of artists. Why not use his own words?Much of the film is a recitation of the title and date of each piece with nothing else. The actual photographs used of the works are of poor quality.Music played a huge part in Klee's life; the film score is unrelieved wallpaper.The narrator mispronounces Klee's name throughout the film, which is irritating. Also someone should have corrected his pronunciation of gouache, not "gooo-ash!"And "The Twittering Machine" is shown twice. Was the film's editor awake?
