芝加哥发生了一桩震惊全城的恐怖血案。当地一间教堂的主教罗森惨遭杀害，灯塔身上被刻上神秘数字，灯塔警方逮捕了当时在场身染血迹的犯罪嫌疑人阿伦（ Edward Norton 饰）。马丁（理查•基尔 Richard Gere 饰）作为阿伦的辩护律师，和他的前女友检控官珍妮特较上了劲。马丁并不在乎事实，他为阿伦辩护的唯一目的就是要赢得官司，让自己一战成名。而珍妮特作为正义的代表当然寸步不让。珍妮特（劳拉•琳妮 Laura Linney 饰）调查得知罗森主教生前曾对阿伦等人进行性侵犯，而阿伦关于自己患有“时间失忆”症的辩解亦显得荒唐，关于他提到的凶案证人一直都未找到。珍妮特认为杀人动机等一切证据俱全。马丁借口阿伦患精神病使其成功脱罪，然而，一切皆出人意料。

The film starts with verse 67, “O somma luce…” and continues to the end. “O Somma luce” recalls the first words uttered by Empedocles in Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub’s 1987 The Death of Empedocles—“O himmlisch Licht!…” (O heavenly light!). This extract from Hölderlin’s text is also inserted into their 1989 film Cézanne.“O somma luce” invokes utopia, or better still “u-topos,” Dante, Holderlin, Cézanne… the camera movement, recalling Sisyphus, in the film’s long shots, suggests its difficulty.In O somma luce, with Giorgio Passerone’s Dante and the verse that concluded the Divine Comedy, we find at the extremity of its possibilities, the almost happy speech of a man who has just left earthly paradise, who tries to fully realize the potential of his nature. Between the two we find the story of the world. The first Jean-Marie Straub film shot in HD.So singular are the textual working methods of Straub-Huillet, and now Straub on his own, that it is hard to grasp how far reaching they are. Direction is a matter of words and speech, not emotions and action. Nothing happens at the edges, everything is at the core and shines from there alone.During the rehearsals we sense a slow process by which ingredients (a text, actors, an intuition) progress towards cohesiveness. It is, forgive the comparison, like the kneading of dough. It is the assembling and working of something until it becomes something else… and, in this case, starts to shine. Actually it’s very simple, it’s just a question of opening up to the light material that has been sealed up. Here, the process of kneading is to bring to life and then reveal. The material that is worked on is speech. So it is speech that becomes visible—nothing else. “Logos” comes to the cinema.The mise en scène of what words exactly?The process of revealing, “phainestai”; “phainomenon,” the phenomenon, is what take splace, what becomes visible to the eye.Is “Straubie” Greece?This mise en scène of speech, which goes beyond a close reading of the chosen text, is truly comes from a distant source.—Barbara Ulrich
