TENTATIVES DE SE DÉCRIRE (2005) 165'
Description
Tentatives de se décrire would be a film about representation. How one can, through the medium of cinema, describe oneself and describe the other. The camera as mirror and as third eye. Initially, an epistolary film, an investigation and a journey conceived as a collage, between documentary and fiction. In the end, a portrait of Boris Lehman between 1989 and 1995, sequel II to Babel.
Going around oneself
tirelessly
impossible obviously
but what else to do
