Description
"Dyn Amo, by Stephen Dwoskin, is a "drama" exploring the distinction between a person's self and the projection of that self onto others. It is also a tragic "horror film" suggesting how a projection can become more substantial than the self behind it. Its subjects are role-playing (particularly sexual role-playing), and the masochism of playing a role that conforms to others' exploitative interests."
— Tony Rayns
"Every Dwoskin film could be described as follows: a man looks at a woman who returns his gaze. This arm-wrestling exchange will last as long as it takes, sometimes as gentle as a caress, as intense as a demand. At times, fear, refusal, wounded pride, abandonment will cross this cinema stretched taut and paralyzed by camera gazes. As in a peep-show, his films are watched isolated from everything. They speak to each person's solitude."
— Philippe Azoury
