Molecular Delusions

Quentin L'helgoualc'h

France
2023, 27'

It is a film that takes place throughout a night dedicated to the psychedelic oneirism of what is audible. Here there is a journey through the sounds of orgasms that becomes a ghostly daze. 

The liminal state is something between two points, between waking and sleeping, for example. Something difficult to put into words, let alone in image or, as in the case of Molecular Delusions, in sound. It could easily be a complement to Iván Zulueta’s brilliant Rapture (1979). Where Zulueta’s film focuses on the liminal state of the image on film, Quentin L’helgoualc’h’s film uses sound as a vehicle to navigate between realities. Kika collects recordings of orgasms, one night something on the recordings returns audio to Kika and curiosity propels us towards something inexplicable but invariably felt. (Rui Mendes)
