“What is immediately arresting in NTGent’s live-stream, with English subtitles, is the cinematic quality of the production. It is exquisitely filmed by Daniel Demoustier in the theatre, though not always on the stage. Shot almost entirely in black and white with some intermittent hues of yellow, it seems variously like a dance and a series of sorrowful tableaux of human suffering and collective delusion. Camera angles draw us into the roused faces of Belgian fascists, circling them dizzily as they spit out their rhetoric, and then drawing away to show them as a choreographed ensemble.”

Perceval, one of Belgium’s best-known directors, wanted the film to be “as different as possible” from what audiences would eventually see in the theater. That goal has undoubtedly been achieved. As I watched “Yellow,” I kept wondering how certain transitions, involving cuts between scenes in different parts of NTGent’s building, would translate onstage. The filmmaker Daniel Demoustier also leaned into a period aesthetic by shooting “Yellow” almost entirely in black-and-white, and the camera hovers near the characters’ faces as fascist slogans worm their way into their psyches.

“Atypical, on the other hand, is the cinematography of Daniel Demoustier, whose expressionistic close-ups seem indebted to Tarkovsky and Ozon.”

“Just recovered from cancer and now ready to conquer the world (again).’ Zo luidt zijn Twitter-profiel. Iedereen mag het weten: het gaat goed met Daniel Demoustier. Zo goed dat het lijkt alsof hij de dood uitlacht.”
