Manifesto draws on the writings of Futurists, Dadaists, Fluxus artists, Suprematists, Situtationists, Dogma 95 and other artist groups, and the musings of individual artists, architects, dancers and filmmakers, editing and reassembling them as a collage of artists' manifestos, ultimately questioning the role of the artist in society today. Performing these 'new manifestos' while inhabiting thirteen different personas - among them a school teacher, a puppeteer, a newsreader, a factory worker and a homeless man - Cate Blanchett imbues new dramatic life into these famous words in unexpected contexts.
Leave your thoughts about Manifesto.
| National PostChris KnightBlanchett, whose body of work already includes playing elf-queen Galadriel, human queen Elizabeth I, Katherine Hepburn and Bob Dylan, does an incredible job embodying a variety of characters. |
| The Film StageDan SchindelThe film is more of a clip show, awkwardly cutting together elements once presented in a drastically different manner. |
| indieWireJude DryThe closest a film performance may ever come to capturing the spirit of live theater. |
| Washington City PaperNoah GittellFor anyone who has ever said, "Cate Blanchett is such a great actress that I would watch her read the phone book," Manifesto is here to hold you accountable. |
| Culture TripGraham FullerThe disjunction between what's being said and who's saying it is intermittently amusing, but as the weighty speeches blend into an incoherent babble, the film becomes increasingly tedious. |
| Film Journal InternationalNick SchagerA tapestry of masterful performances that [...] push[es] past traditional boundaries in order to locate deeper, more authentic truths. |
| Washington PostPat PaduaIt’s a treat to watch an actress at the top of her game, flexing her interpretive muscles in a showcase that is inventive and thought-provoking. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyThe film is thought-provoking, visually arresting, and occasionally very self-important. |
| The A.V. ClubEsther ZuckermanEach of Blanchett’s characters exists in a complete environment, and Rosefeldt’s camera is keen to reveal the gags and treasures contained within each. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsIt's a "Must she? Must we?" experience at first. But in Julian Rosefeldt's conceptualist movie, annoyingness is part of the texture. Provoke or be provoked! |
