Woman without Piano is the portrait of an anonymous housewife at the turn of the XXIst century in Madrid. The movie shows 24 hours in her domestic, professional and sexual everyday life – a life she flees from one night. It is the tale of what happens during that night. Some might say this movie reflects the alienation of a housewife, but the story is really about a woman on the brink of menopause, a woman with no friends and no social life. She has devoted her life to her family, she doesn’t think she is pretty… and just slips into the strangeness of the night. Because when night falls, a fun, dark and absurd new world rises.
As we toured through modern Guimarães, the founding city of Portugal, we wondered: What stories does it have to tell? The answer to this question came to us via the voices of four filmmakers with unique visions of cinema, Aki Kaurismäki, Pedro Costa, Victor Erice and Manoel de Oliveira, who worked together in the making of this film, each contributing with a short. Things are not what they seem at first: the multiple dimensions of the story are generated by both reality ‚ Erice’s documentary Vidros Partidos ‚ and fiction – Kaurismäki’s O Tasqueiro, Costa’s Sweet Exorcist, and Oliveira’s O Conquistador Conquistado.

In 1964, Clouzot was working on a much-cherished project, it was called “Inferno”, a study of jealousy, starring Romy Schneider and Serge Reggiani. Influenced by op- art, Clouzot amassed an extraordinary set of test material, creating a dazzling array of proto-psychedelic images of Schneider as demonic dream temptress. However, the enormous amount of budget didn’t allow this masterpiece to be concluded. So Bromberg and Medrea have pieced together the remains of Clouzot’s material and filmed contemporary actors Bejo and Gamblin reading key scenes. The result is a dazzling evocation of one of the great lost gems.
Director Werner Herzog describes this follow-up to his 2012 series On Death Row as “finishing an unfinished business”. While he speaks at length with four death row inmates in candid interviews about their crimes and life behind bars, Herzog opens all four episodes with a disclaimer of sorts making his own position clear: “As a German, coming from a different historical background and being a guest in the United States, I respectfully disagree with the practice of capital punishment.”

The film a rare opportunity to see Hitchcock having a ball, playing with his new toy.
