Ahead of its Sundance premiere on January 23rd, a trailer has been released for Manifesto, starring Cate Blanchett in 13 different roles. The project began as an art installation and creator/director Julian Rosefeldt morphed it into a feature. In my opinion, the more Cate Blanchetts the better. The trailer debuted on Yahoo Movies.
Can history’s art manifestos apply to contemporary society? An homage to the twentieth century’s most impassioned artistic statements and innovators, from Futurists and Dadaists to Pop Art, Fluxus, Lars von Trier and Jim Jarmusch, this series of reenactments performed by Cate Blanchett explores these declarations’ performative components and political significance.
