Biography

Roland Lethem (born 1942) is a Belgian filmmaker and writer.


Influenced at his beginnings by Buñuel , Cocteau , the surrealists and by the Japanese cinema ( Seijun Suzuki , Ishirō Honda , Kōji Wakamatsu , Yoko Ono ), stunned by the Festival of the experimental film of Knokke in 1967 and by May 1968, Roland Lethem wants to push the people to look at the things of which they say they are freed, it's to say to place them in front of their responsibilities. Even if sometimes the results leaves much to be desired, the idea of ​​each one of his films is seductive and exemplary. A fact is certain, his films are disturbing, they are sometimes unpleasant to look at. The narcissistic and provocative play of the debut turned itself into direct, visual, and verbal insult, and in slandering. His dream was one moment to be able to film the intimate life of the pope or the sexual plays of the Belgian sovereigns. Through violence, pornography and cruelty of some scenes, Roland Lethem is a gentle, generous man with a lot of humor. The work of Roland Lethem evolves, becomes political, ecological. The Ballad of the cursed lovers, 1966 or The Bloodthirsty Fairy, 1968 still tell stories. The Sufferings of a ravaged Egg , 1967, poem of love in several parts (Étoiles/Stars, Corps/Bodies, Hymen/Marriage or Hymen (ambiguous in French), Oeuf/Egg) dedicated to all who conceive and to all who are conceived, irresistibly makes you think at the Histoire de l'oeil (Story of the Eye, 1928) of Georges Bataille .
