摘要:
What response does seeing human suffering demand of us? Filmmaker Julia Haslett seeks an answer in the controversial French philosopher and activist Simone Weil (1909-1943), whose life and work took on this question in a dramatic way. Adopting Weil as her guide through an engaging and profound moral landscape, Julia goes on a journey to understand Weil's loss of faith in revolutionary politics and the spiritual awakening that followed. Driving her obsession with Weil is the interwoven story of suffering within Haslett's own family, her father's suicide when she was 17 and now her older brother's severe depression. When Weil dies from self-starvation at the height of World War II, she is left wondering if death was the logical conclusion to Weil's philosophy and her attempt to share the pain of others?

This is an idiosyncratic look at Simone Weil. The extremely personal nature of it makes it less suitable for classroom use, and to some degree mars the film. To the extent that itâs a documentary about Julia Haslett and her family, itâs unassailable. To the extent that itâs a documentary about Weil, it suffers from the interpolation of current political activism as well as Haslettâs personal life. While my heart goes out to the Haslett family in their suffering, itâs not clear to me what her brotherâs anxiety has to do with Simone Weil. The film also unnecessarily antagonizes those who differ politically from Haslett, yet wish to learn about Weil.
This is too bad, because the material concerning Weil is good. The salient points of her life and thought come through well, and Haslett has gone to considerable work to locate and interview people who knew her. Although one could wish its attention remained focused on Weil, this documentary remains a fruitful and thought-provoking introduction to this remarkable person.
