Summary/Abstract: „If »in movies, the art of directing is everything«, then film convergestheater, not fine arts.” We can easily use this premise when approaching Solanas' film The Cloud (La nube). And not just because of the obvious reasons(namely this film being about a group of actors and their habitat, the MirrorTheater), but also because film, being much as allegorical and able to changethe nature of illusions with its typical filmic tools, it also bears the magic of the theater stage: directing is mainly instructing and leading actors.
