The story

What Is Artemide’s Knee About?

The premise of Artemide’s Knee without spoilers.

After Danièle Huillet’s death, Straub seeks solace in music and landscape. Kathleen Ferrier sings Mahler’s “The Farewell” from The Song of the Earth—written after his daughter’s death—and Schütz’s Lament on his wife’s death, echoing his grief. The mountain grove where Endymion longs for Artemis embodies mono no aware, acceptance of fleeting beauty.
