A wild boar hunt, a taxidermist’s skill and the loyal reproduction of Etienne-Jules Marey’s chronophotographic gun, all these the premises for an intimate voyage. An interior voice questions images far off and close. It questions the confusion felt when faced with images. Those images “to part ways with “and those “to invent”. As if this invention could render a lost beauty. Not an exercise in nostalgia, but an unplanned incursion into a universe where all things untangle themselves.
The first part filmed in 1999, completed in 2000, up until the liberation of the South of Lebanon in May 2000, it was impossible to go to Khiam detention camp, located in an area under israeli occupation and its proxy militia, the South Lebanon Army.
Four lonely and disenfranchised urbanites in contemporary Mexico City: a preteen boy under tremendous emotional strain, the pretty cashier with whom he is infatuated, an enraged and embittered cabbie, and the estranged daughter of one of his fares.
The relationship between beautiful Emilia (Elizabeth Cervantes) and her imaginative young daughter, Alicia, is tested in this understated Mexican drama.
Very loosely based on Nabokov’s ‘Lolita’, this is the story of a writer renting a room at a single mother’s house that starts an affair with the daughter of her.
