FICTION
Shirley – Visions of Reality
Gustav Deutsch
The film uses 13 cinematically vivified paintings by Edward Hopper to tell the story of a woman who lives in a reality she
doesn't accept as given but rather as a made up and changeable construct and who sticks to her convictions in moments of truth

Good-bye, Gustav Deutsch
We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Gustav Deutsch who, in SHIRLEY – VISIONS OF REALITY, captivated us with
his cinematic encounters with painting. The moving and the stationary image, the damaged as well as the intact and both
the professional views and those of amateurs were all subject to the exploratory spirit and regard of this artist and
thinker, who imparted the certainty that film is more than film.
