  • Marcel Hanoun – L’été (1968)

    Marcel Hanoun1961-1970ArthouseExperimentalFranceThe Films of May '68

    Quote:
    After the event of May1968, a young woman shelters in the country, in a house where she waits for her partner.

    Quote:
    “…‘Who creates? And for whom?’ What is important is that Hanoun does not answer these questions in a grandiloquent way. On the contrary, far from showing a series of dramatic actions, he focuses on the in-between moments in the life of his beautiful young protagonist. He plays with fragments of the scene, reframing the image, using frames (doors, windows, a mirror as a tableau vivant) and all of this confronts the viewer with a sort of catalog of repetitive acts, where drama and character development are absent.Read More »

There seems to have two worlds, cinematographic worlds I mean : B&W and colour and things circulate from one world to another, people too…
