La Cité des Neuf Portes

The mastery of Marti explodes in La Cité des Neuf Portes, where this young filmmaker constructs a rigorous work, coherent while variegated, rhythmical like a concerto, with “piani” and “andante”. In this case, a concerto for masculine bodies, often in makeup or travesty and Super-8 camera. Generally editing the film in the camera at the moment of filming, and playing on the lightness of his equipment with quasi-caresses or filmic coruscations, Marti thus reveals himself to be one of the masters of Super-8.
