Moses Und Aaron

A Schoenberg opera, filmed by Straub-Huillet in 1974
Quite a straight telling. Distincitve high angle and asymmetric shots, but very little cutting or movement. Similar to a staged opera.
Not just diagonal framings here, but often straight-on stuff.
Again, nothing outside the frame as those in it are absorbed. Shich when they jump out of the frame to die.
Again, a performance of a form not usually seen in film. Judged on music more?
