Through the Mirrors
“Through the Mirrors” is a poetic film about the fate of love in the face of time, inspired by the poem “As I Walked Out One Evening”, by WH Auden. Although it uses no spoken word, the film has three voices: a narrator-pianist (Julien Brocal), an elderly woman (Susan Heyneman), and Time. As the woman remembers her love, the pianist performs the tone and rhythm of her memory in a room filled with mirrors, while projections of her life play back into the mirrors. The music that the pianist performs is by Ravel “Miroirs: La Vallée des Cloches” and Mompou “La Fuente y La Campana”; both compositions relate to the passing of time.
