Summary
The Song of the Pylons
Catherine misses her Flixbus and finds herself stranded at a highway rest area somewhere near Marseille. Resigning herself to make do, she starts walking along the highway, passing through industrial landscapes where, among other weird people, she encounters the Pharaoh of Marseille, the prophet of the power poles, who becomes her guide. This mystical and comical figure takes her through the wastelands of the suburban world, explored in wide shots that highlight the distances and the emptiness of the spaces. Catherine encounters crooked bosses and techno-enthusiastic Tesla drivers and stumbles upon a ceremony dedicated to the mysterious Silurian. A picaresque journey into the imagination of the marginalized through the lens of a post-industrial society in full decay.
