PATRICK BOKANOWSKI - GENÈSE D'UN RÊVE SOLAIRE by Pip Chodorov (2017) 7'
Description
Unlike L'Ange, shot in a studio, Un rêve solaire is largely composed of real-world footage. The actors no longer wear makeup under masks. The actors are us, spectators of unknown performances, or stellar spectators, a crowd of anonymous figures silhouetted against skies of fire and water, but above all sleeping childhood dreaming during a train journey.
"There are no, or very few, words in my films. Michèle Bokanowski's music plays a decisive role because it tells in its own way and in counterpoint what the images or characters do not say."
— Patrick Bokanowski
"Un rêve solaire recounts, by depicting it concretely, a struggle between shadow and light. These two simultaneous movements give the film its dynamic principle and its plastic energy."
— Jacques Kermabon
