影片《填补空白》讲述了一个犹太教哈希德派家的小女儿希拉年满18，已经选好了意中人准备出嫁。但是自己怀孕的姐姐不幸去世，留下了一个孩子和自己的丈夫尤罕。为了能留住孩子，希拉的母亲希望能够将小女儿嫁给姐夫尤罕，填补姐姐留下的空缺。
有人曾经说，婚礼和葬礼是表现一个社会的文化最好的地方，《填补空白》可以说很好的验证了这句话。影片利用三场婚礼，很好的将一个哈希德派家庭所处的社会的文化，呈现到观众的眼前。片中男性的黑色礼服，圆形的帽子和长长的鬓角的小辫，各种祷告和仪式，无不传达着这样一个信息：这是一个虔诚的宗教社会的宗教家庭，同时这是一个绝对服从传统的家庭和社会。 而当刚满18岁，正是恋爱的最好时间的希拉面对嫁给意中人，还是嫁给自己的姐夫这样的抉择时，其挣扎和纠结更加让观众关注。而当希拉最后选择了后者时，可能有很多人会认为这样的结局太不公平。但是这样的选择恰恰最能体现导演对男女关系极具深度的见解，虽然不是一见钟情或者战栗的初恋，但是一对男女在特殊情况下，心灵渐渐靠近的过程，是一样美好的。

The films of Ulrike Ottinger (b. 1942) are shaped by a fascination with place, a topical and topographical curiosity that drives their wanderlust across locales both imagined and real, from the fantastically spectral Berlin of the early Freak Orlando and the nostalgia shrouded Viennese amusement park of Prater, to the vast, remote steppes of Central Asia explored in Taiga and the busy banquet halls of present-day Seoul in The Korean Wedding Chest. Ottinger’s fiction films kaleidoscope a carnivalesque vision of the world, staging unpredictable encounters with a remarkably motley cast of “freak” outsiders – lovers, pirates, brigands, grafters and their adversaries. While Ottinger’s documentaries, in contrast, focus insightfully on the quotidian reality of everyday people, but are no less colorful and exuberant in their spirited exploration of the playful and poetic intersection of the traditional and contemporary.
Born in Konstanz, Germany, Ottinger spent much of the 1960s working as a painter in Paris – where she also studied with the likes of Claude Lévi-Strauss and Louis Althusser – before launching her film career in Berlin in the early 1970s. Ottinger’s earliest films grow out of her close association with various Berlin subcultures and art scenes and involved collaborations with such luminary figures as Tabea Blumenschein, as well as Irm Hermann, Kurt Raab and Magdalena Montezuma, actors central to the Fassbinder scene. International recognition and reknown followed her first feature film Madame X (1977), which especially drew the interest of queer and feminist critics and scholars in the U.S. To this day Ottinger’s films are held up for their radicalness, not only of narrative but also of their treatment of sexuality and of gender itself. A Renaissance woman, Ottinger writes her own scripts, frequently operates the camera and even designs the often elaborate sets and costumes showcased in her films.
The fall of the Berlin Wall and a massive funding crisis for “art cinema” coincided at the beginning of the 1990s to inspire a distinct shift in Ottinger’s cinema away from the theatrical extravagances of her early film work to a mode of carefully observed documentary. Yet uniting and cross-pollinating Ottinger’s documentary and fiction work are a set of running themes – a concern for the normative function of power and its ability to repress and ostracize difference; a nostalgia for the cosmopolitism of pre-war Central Europe; and a delight in the richness and beauty of “other cultures,” be they popular, archaic or simply non-Western.
Taiga
Directed by Ulrike Ottinger.
Germany 1992, 16mm, color, 501 min. Mongolian and Tuvinian with English subtitles
Ottinger returned to Mongolia to craft her incredible epic documentary portrait of reindeer herders on the far Northern steppes. While offering rare glimpses into the shamanic ceremonies, hunts, weddings and amusements that color the herders’ lives, Taiga uses its nine hours to resist any notion of the nomads as simply “exotic” by creating a fully immersive encounter with the Mongolians daily routines and rituals. Bearing mesmerizing witness to a world seemingly out of time, Taiga is ultimately a study in contrasts: between the vast steppes and the intimacy of the nomads’ private spaces, between the mobility of the nomadic life and the fixity of Ottinger’s camera, between pre-modern practices and their contemporary variations.
