Une Condition Naturelle
In their movie, Une Condition Naturelle, Arjen de Leeuw and Walter van Broekhuizen study the difficult relationship between the modern, urbanized man and nature. The film is a playful piece on the romantic desire for a sublime experience in the wilderness.
A small, dry-humoured drama unfolds, an expression of the tragic condition of man. Tragic, because we keep longing for nature, which we feel a part of, but from which we have paradoxically and irrevocably extracted ourselves.
