Le cabinet du Docteur Ramirez (1991)
À New York dans les années 1990, Matt et Cathy, deux cadres de Wall Street, voient leurs vies bouleversées par des événements provoqués par le mystérieux Docteur Ramirez et son assistant somnambule. Parabole cauchemardesque sur la société américaine. Par sa mise en scène innovante et ses opéras lyriques, Peter Sellars s’est imposé comme l’un des enfants prodiges du théâtre américain. Avec LE CABINET DU DR. RAMIREZ, cet artiste confirme ses qualités plastiques en proposant une relecture contemporaine du CALIGARI de Robert Wiene (1919). Comme l’original, ce long métrage est muet, juste accompagné de la somptueuse symphonie HARMONIELEHRE de John Adams et de chants tibétains qui le rendent encore plus troublant. À noter que les acteurs principaux ont également participé à l’écriture du scénario.
Directeur: Peter Sellars
