In "Meetings With Remarkable Men," Peter Brook's slow and very deliberate film about the early years of the Russian mystic G I Gurdjieff, Mr Brook has chosen neither to represent Gurdjieff as a fully developed character nor to delve very deeply into the nature of his thought Instead, he concentrates on the visible details of Gurdjieff's search for enlightenment So the film depicts a great many places the young Gurdjieff visited, events he witnessed, wise men who advised him and rare parchments he happened upon
But Mr Brook's presentation of this is so solemn, so evidently lacking the joyful guiding spirit of such a search, that his film feels flat Watching this handsome, affectless effort feels a little like receiving a series of puzzling picture postcards in the mail, each one beautiful but missing a message on the back The effect is perhaps more mysterious than it means to be
Though Gurdjieff is played vigorously enough by Dragan Maksimovic (Mikica Dimitrijevic briefly portrays the writer as a boy at the beginning of the film), his is not a performance that can do justice to the material It can't be: it's surrounded by too much deadly seriousness on all sides Mr Brook, with a superb eye for pretty compositions but no interest in continuity at all, simply leaps from one portentous episode to the next, with an abruptness that will either leave viewers bewildered or send them back to Gurdjieff's own writings, depending upon the extent of their interest Certainly "Meetings With Remarkable Men" is a film that requires supplementary energy, whether it comes from the curiosity or the prior knowledge that the right audience may provide
When the writer finally arrives at the remote religious community he has been seeking, "Meetings With Remarkable Men" — which opens today at Cinema 3 — becomes unexpectedly vigorous This is because in large part of some sacred dances that have been "brought" (according to the credits) to the film by Jeanne de Salzmann, the late Gurdjieff's 80-year-old trusted disciple and former aide These brief sequences are exquisite, filled with the ecstasy and perfect discipline that the rest of the film so sorely lacks
