William E. Jones, Wu Tsang, Zachary Drucker

24 October-19 November Charlottenborg Art Cinema hosts screenings of Wu Tsang’s film Mishima in Mexico (2012) and William E. Jones’ Fall into Ruin (2017).

Wu Tsangs Mishima in Mexico (2012) is a sublime exploration of the longing in Yukio Mishima’s novel Thirst for Love (1950). The film shows a form of test shots of the novel where Wu Tsang himself and his scriptwriter Alex Segade each play the film’s characters while they small talk about the novel’s themes – while they are longing.

William E. Jones’ Fall into Ruin (2017) is a fascinating portrait of the legendary Greek gallerist Alexander Lolas where Jones’ own youth photos from the flamboyant Greek home are connected to photos of the left ruins of the home 30 years later. Jones’ personal voice over narrates movingly and detailed about the fascinating meeting with the decadent Greek art lover who lost his life to AIDS in 1987.

The films are looped within the opening hours of Kunsthal Charlottenborg (unless there are events in the cinema). The films are free to watch when admission for Kunsthal Charlottenborg has been payed.
