FLOATING
Guillaume Lillo
In the cars that pick him up as he hitchhikes, the voice of a young man we’ll never – or hardly – see, describes in detail the depression that brought him to the medical health centre. Although the story of his troubled life follows a fairly coherent thread guided by a few undeniable obsessions (birds and cars, for example), in contrast, the image is a brisk montage of a succession of increasingly astonishing shots and extremely diverse registers. Guillaume Lillo walks this tightrope (watch out for the credits at the end, which reveal the real issues at stake), maintaining the balancing act all the way through with unquestionable flair.
