DISCOVER

With her first theatrically released feature, the 2008 Isabelle Huppert vehicle Home, French Swiss director and screenwriter Ursula Meier established herself as a filmmaker with a singular ability to describe complicated family dynamics and the delicate relationship between environment and psychology. A rural utopia threatened by a new highway in Home; a housing project in a luxe ski resort in Sister; a family home surrounded by a do-not-cross boundary in The Line—Meier explores the strange energy and dramatic potential of liminal settings in her films. Watch all three of her films at Metrograph from March 31 to April 2.

ARIELLA STRAUSS RECOMMENDS
PAUL KLEE AT THE MET

Hello! I’m Ariella, the Cultural Affairs and Education intern at the Consulate General of Switzerland in New York. As a child, I remember going to visit the Paul Klee Center in Bern on multiple occasions. I was intrigued about Klee's life, and the exposure to his paintings, watercolors, and drawings left a meaningful impression on me. Since arriving in New York, I have been delighted to find several Paul Klee paintings on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The one pictured beside me, playfully titled Red Green and Violet Yellow Rhythms is one of my favorites to see in the city. It is a stunning oil painting featuring magical landscapes. I am particularly drawn to the little fir trees dotted around on a Cubist ground, which seemingly evoke an enchanted forest. The story of how this artwork came to New York is remarkable. It is available here, and well worth a read!
