KINOSCOPE REAL Apolonia, Apolonia

Denmark, Poland, France, 2023, Colour, 116 min, Režija / Director: Lea Glob

Apolonia je rođena u alternativnom pozorištu u Parizu i odrasla je u zajednici umjetnika. Studirala je na jednoj od najprestižnijih evropskih umjetničkih akademija. Dugi je niz godina danska rediteljica Lea Glob pratila njezino nastojanje da nađe svoje mjesto u umjetničkom svijetu, njezine borbe s agonijama i radostima odrasle žene, odnose s drugima te vlastitim tijelom i stvaralaštvom. Kako vrijeme prolazi, a između Apolonije i Lee rađa se posebna veza, svjedočimo nastanku filma i sticanju slikarske slave. Trinaest godina kasnije, dvije žene i dalje razmišljaju o vlastitim putevima u ovom dojmljivom filmu o umjetnosti, ljubavi, majčinstvu, seksualnosti, prikazu i tome kako uspjeti u svijetu kojim vladaju patrijarhat, kapitalizam i rat, a da pritom ne izgubiš sebe.

Apolonia was born in an underground theatre in Paris, grew up in an artists' community, and studied at one of the most prestigious art academies in Europe. Over the years, Danish filmmaker Lea Glob filmed Apolonia and her struggle to find her place in the art world, grappling with the agonies and joys of womanhood, relationships with others, and her own body and creation. As time passes and a special bond grows between Apolonia and Lea, we witness a film being born and a painter rising to fame. Thirteen years on, the two women continue to reflect on each other’s paths in this mesmerising film about art, love, motherhood, sexuality, representation, and how to succeed in a world dominated by patriarchy, capitalism, and war without losing oneself.
