*Nature Forever* (2017) van Piero Gilardi

RIP Peter Schjeldahl (1942 – 2022)

Peter Schjeldahl was een Amerikaans kunstcriticus die voor het eerst op mijn radar verscheen toen hij het carnografische El Topo (1970) van Jodorowsky in de zomer van 1971 een “monumentaal werk van filmkunst” noemde.

Bij ons las niemand Schjeldahl, afgezien van Joost Zwagerman die hem minstens drie keer in zijn essays vermeldde.
