About

Rope is a photographic “reconstruction” of Ambrose Bierce's famous short story An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge: a man at the edge of a bridge, a rope around his neck, about to be hanged, and a love greater than life (and death). But, more than that, it is also a research into the possibilities of chronophotography in the days of digital cinema.

Sauve qui peut (la vie) [Every Man for Himself] marked, in 1980, the return of Jean-Luc Godard to more “mainstream” cinema, after a few years of absence in which he dedicated himself to cinema with a revolutionary character. The movie, constructed as a musical piece with four movements (imaginary, fear, commerce and music), staring Isabelle Huppert, the singer Jacques Dutronc, and Nathalie Baye.

Two films where the photographic decomposition of movement is explored as a tool to question the internal mechanisms of cinema.
