J'entends le noir (with English Subtitles)

J'ENTENDS LE NOIR (WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES) is an original semantic exercise in which the subtitles gradually emerge from their traditional function to acquire autonomy in relation to the image and thus provide information about the conditions of production of the film. The story, supported by a voice-over, is based on a series of haunting images showing the body of a woman dead in a forest, then carried by a naked man: it is the story of a crime of passion. But this story is gradually diverted by the gap between the narration and the subtitles, then by the sound interventions.

Sales images

"The problem is the filming of unstylized reality in such a way that the result does have a style." Part of the tradition of radical cinema the energetic collage of "Sales images" is organized sonic and visual chaos that - citing Magritte ("This is not a pipe") - addresses the issue of representation and illusion.
