NR 26 min
A bereft filmmaker asks a series of women to pose nude for his camera in this striking and moody short film by Belgiums Olivier Smolders The silent encounters act as counterpoint to a contemplative internal monologue musing on love loss and the subtle powerplays of aversion and desire underway in an atmosphere pervaded by an irresistible erotic gloom Filmed in a lustrous black and white the themes explored find their perfect compliment in the stark fascinated allembracing gaze of the camera Robert Avila
