FREEDOM OF LOVE
Brad Pitt
During a recent shoot for Vanity Fair, Nick Knight created a number of
on-set scenarios for intriguing visual and aural actions for subject Brad
Pitt to perform, so as to engage the actor in 'pique' performance. 'Freedom
of Love' is a short film which captured Pitt in action during the shoot,
energetically painting onto a huge blow up of his own face, and adding
caption, and contemplatively reading surrealist poetry. Pitt reads from
André Breton's poem 'Freedom of Love', a one stanza, sixty-line homage to his wife. The poem cites a beautiful litany of comparisons for her physical attributes, deftly playing with language that eludes any commonplace romantic imaging, instead presenting uncanny metaphors. Breton was the provocative, passionate leader of the avant-garde literary and artistic movement Surrealism, who believed in 'revolution of the mind', and in the 'marvellous' - dazzling combinations of words or visual images,
spontaneously created by automatic processes of the mind.- Movie Last updated 10 Jun 2004
