Cineblog: Years ago, I was working on a movie… —That’s a combination

Marion Naccache’s latest film premiered in Portugal on 29 April in the Silvestre competition at IndieLisboa. At the wheel of this road movie, whose allegorical aroma manifests itself in notes from Nadja (Breton) and Ulysses (Joyce), we wander in the first person, lost on a New York road.

The obvious reference point that is mentioned over and over again in texts about De Humani Corporis Fabrica, co-directed by Lucien Castaing-Taylor […]
Cineblog: Creuse, where the sound is present

Creuse is a constant labour of presentification of sound. The deafening thud that emanates from it makes possible the emergence of an exercise necessary for the non-existence of a life. By taking the synaesthesia of the cinematographic experience to the extreme, it is a short film that distends itself. Because it asks for an abnormal […]
