+Hamed Hosseini It tells about alcoholism and resisting it. There's another translation in lyricstranslate.com/en/Paha-Vaanii-Evil-lurks.html#ixzz3OXOAK1Sf which perhaps isn't that professional but gives another point of view.
Kerri Coulter: It's 1970, [correction: the end credits date the movie to 1969] so for avant garde filmmakers questions of conformity are top of mind. (Whether or not to support the Vietnam War was perhaps the paramount question of conformity at the time.) Nothing suggests conformity more easily than an endless crowd on an escalator -- especially one consisting almost entirely of middle-class white people who look like they're on their way to work ... or, since the film is being run backwards, on their way home after work. But the title of the film is "Necrology", after all, so Lawder is presumably suggesting that these people are beyond conformity -- they're the walking dead. Indeed, that they're going up instead of down seems to imply they're rising to heaven. The made-up credits play on the idea that in a group of randoms this size there will be souls of all types, from embezzlers (at large) to drum majorettes to pederasts to corporate vice presidents. Not terribly subtle, but then, probably not meant to be.
sometimes there isn't a meaning. It's an observation of faces and people. you take what you want from it. for me it forces us to look at a continuous parade of people. it's cinematic people watching from the past. and it takes something very normal that you never would notice and presents it in an interesting way - by reversing it (like where are they going now? and forces us to stare at these people. that's all. it's unusual and original and don't feel you need to get its literal "meaning."
Ce petit extrait est suffisamment intéressant pour dire mon intérêt à cette pièce ; et le fait qu'elle soit jouée en costume contemporain met d'autant plus le texte en valeur ; aussi aurais-je bien voulu la voir le 15/8/11 !
