Your writings are illuminating as usual, and for once you’re talking with someone who knows something about cinema, who knows and breathes cinema (the same way Benjamin and Adorno, your beloved thinkers, approached all that they touched, modernist music, art and thought; the same way Ralph Ellison “traded twelves” with jazz musicians in his stories). As a musician you bring your own perspective, based on rhythm, editing and cinematography, being in nuce developed in music and opera as much as in fiction or painting etc. Something intangible and intermedial perhaps.

I just find your cinema project totalement génial, very much in the spirit of cinémathèque, but Rémy’s style (so closely in tune with Bazin, Sontag and Farber here, but with that Rémy touch, at once oral and written, crafted in the smithy of your art of composition – your opera Under the Volcano in particular, or Insula Dulcamara, two of the most beautiful creations I know of); indeed, one could analyse music through filmic lenses, and to me you’re an auteur (auteur-compositeur! Meaning chansonnier in French, not a diminutive, we talk Brassens quality here…) in the realm of music. Unique and brilliant.  Imagine Bach writing on Vermeer… or Boulez on Godard. Along with one of your favoured composers, Bernd Alois Zimmermann, anything you said, wrote, composed, chimes with this criterium of artistic truth: “Ich wandte mich und sah an alles Unrecht das geschah unter der Sonne” – “I turned and saw all the injustice there was under the sun.”

These words on film will one day lead a composer or director to look at your unperformed opera – the masterpiece to which you dedicated every minute of your cruelly shortened life – and they will say: that is it, the opera the world did not know it needed. John Huston, Ritwik Ghatak or Chantal Akerman will meet Berg and Malcolm Lowry in some corner of this sublunary world, and Rilke’s words will resound in yet unheard notes: “For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we still are just able to endure, and we are so awed because it serenely disdains to annihilate us. Every angel is terrifying.”

Remy was a rare person — someone of uncompromising honesty, integrity, and true independence of mind and spirit. The world is narrower, and colder, without him. Remy had a marvellous gift for communicating his enthusiasms for everything, from books to films to music. We worked together on his opera based on Malcolm Lowry’s Under the Volcano. I’d forgotten completely about “Juliet,” a project from our undergraduate days. I remember Remy actually went so far as to film a scene (a couple waltzing at night, to music from Nielsen’s 3rd symphony). Juliet was loosely based on a scenario filmed by Marcel Carné (Juliette ou le clef des songes) although, as I recall, Jeremy had the operatic setting by Bohuslav Martinu in mind more than the movie.

How rigorous and thoughtful Remy’s reviews… In (I think) our last correspondence about this Remy was defending the films of Ozu against his latter-day acolyte, Hirokazu Kore’eda. This site will be a great resource for film students.

A personal message, from the editor.

This site is for everyone. It’s author, my dear friend Remy Byers, was a composer, critical thinker, writer; tutelary deity. His affection for truth in art led to him create this meticulous review of world-cinema’s expansive legacy. A guide. He was a Cambridge student in the nineteen-seventies, taught by Alexander Goehr, who later on requested he return to Kings to teach; Remy was an expert on orchestral writing and analyses, one who understood music totally. He was a genius – ‘I won’t teach you what I know, I’ll teach you what you need to know,’ he once said.

At the start of the pandemic he developed the scheme, forming ideas, toward appraising cinema. The working title was ‘film-log’ and each film (even if he’d seen it previously) he watched three times in succession, taking notes, before final construction. Every great director is listed here. Are our true psychological needs, of freedom, creativity and happiness ever met? All we can do in all ways, is help one another, share, amuse. This facet we have
hoped to realise. A touch of optimism? Perhaps, but that’s the type of person Remy was.
He passed away in December 2021. The cause of death, in truth, was life itself. Yet, he departed like he lived; free from the general mêlée, not following rules or orders, surrounded by his library of books and films, coffee, music and tobacco. He lived life his way, on his terms. None of us could ask for more.
Inside, somewhere in my soul perhaps, I can easily believe that the hope-giving cinematic spiral of light – the twist of cigarette-smoke rising, shadows moving, human-warmth, connected people, the dim association, the break through the formidable barrier of indifference – has more purpose than to simply serve the darkness.
