Una visita al mundo

The Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk said that real museums were places where time is transformed into space. This phrase expands its meaning when we see the possibilities offered by the way Alfred Hitchcock and Pedro Costa did in a museum. In their films, the museum itself is as beautiful and complex an element as any of the works Straub & Huillet discuss in "Une Visite au Louvre", be it a painting or nature itself.
