Audience Score
A tribute to Mallarmé that not only asserts the continuing relevance of his work but also confronts its literary ambiguities with political and cinematic ambiguities of its own In outline the film could not be more straightforward it offers a recitation of one of Mallarmés most celebrated and complex poems it was his last published work in his own lifetime appearing in 1897 a year before his death and proposes a cinematic equivalent for the authors original experiment with typography and layout by assigning the words to nine different speakers separating each speaker from the other as she or he speaks and using slight pauses to correspond with white spaces on the original page
