Cet Homme

Summary

A slight trembling, the muscles of the throat, the shoulders,
the torso sways back and forth, a shrugging of the shoulders, a
strained swallowing. An actress, an actor, shot from behind, from
the side, who’ve taken on the task of measuring and relating. The
measurements: the space between camera and performance, between
narration and event, between image and sound, the sound
of the space. The relations: to one another, to the space, to the
camera, and time and again to the text. Are they telling their story,
is what’s happening all in the description, or does the text depict a description, a visual narrative, which then happens elsewhere?
A film of speaking bodies, antagonisms, intonations, rehearsals.
Always accompanied by the camera’s serenity and precision
and the audible resonances of the space.
