For Le Genou d'Artemide Jean-Marie Straub once again chose a dialogue by Cesare Pavese. And not just any dialogue, but one that tears open a painful, mystical abyss between love and the one left behind. The film is one single exhilaration and one single rush, a spell and dispersion into nature. It rises from a dark screen and chant to disappear in the woods with the whisper of the wind. It has little to do with what is generally called «cinema». It has one foot in the world beyond. Nature has ten million times the imagination of the most imaginative of artists. (Jean-Marie Straub)

没有精心搭建的造景、没有靠灯光营造的氛围，更没有强情节、快节奏、多反转的人造戏剧元素
大自然是人物的舞台，人在自然中“自然”地生存着，人与自然浑然一体。草原、河流、山峦、羊群、马匹、与人的生存状态，水乳交融地构成和还原了一种原生态关系。
