Gustav Deutsch with Hanna Schimek and Jerzy Palacz, 2013, 93 minutes
In this film, Deutsch renders thirteen of Edward Hopper's iconic paintings to the screen with actress choreographer Stephanie Cummings as "Shirley," the woman who serenely inhabits each panorama. Additionally, Deutsch inserts historical footnotes by means of a male radio voice, an experiment that creates a slightly contrived though engaging context.
