The French painter Edouard Manet painted four canvases depicting the execution in 1867 of Emperor Maximilian of Mexico. This short dramatic film evokes the artist's studio and the events of Maximilian's death, using a single, uninterrupted shot to present the artistic thought process through the eyes of the painter. The narration, written by the film's director, takes the form of an imagined interior monologue, presented in voice-over style in French and German with English subtitles. It alludes to the narrative, historical and visual texts that Manet drew upon to form his four versions of the painting.

An intensely experimental piece of cinema. A sketch for McMullen"s later films and theatre experiments. It's subject is the French Resistance movement of the Second World War and the traumas suffered by the ex-Resistance fighters unable to cope with the memory of War or their loss of a role in Peace time conditions. Resistance investigates the concept of Resistance both politically and psychoanalytically.

It is always insightful with imagery striking in it's singularity.
