Ciné-concert : LE RÉVÉLATEUR

Le Révélateur pairs Radwan Ghazi Moumneh (Jerusalem In My Heart) with Réka Csiszér (VÍZ) as the duo Le Révélateur, scoring Philippe Garrel's 1968 silent film of the same name. Across cello, buzuq, rababa, voice, electronics and synthesizer, the eight tracks move between charred, hymn-like drones and tender, field-recording-laced instrumentals — a minimalism that's both stark and eerily luminous. Garrel's black-and-white film, its title borrowed from the French term for developing film negatives, follows a child and his parents drifting through a desolate landscape, a family perpetually on the edge of disaster without quite arriving there. The score mirrors that suspended state, holding motion and stillness in the same frame.
