Duchamp Reality

A chilly, collage-like drift through derelict places and a strange young mind, more unsettling mood piece than story.

Directed by

Dan deMarre, Lee Lynch

Overview

Set in an abandoned exurb in Iceland, the film is a semi-fictional portrait of local teenager "Gunnar" who is obsessed with serial killers. As the filmmakers follow him around the derelict modernist dwellings a narrative emerges of Iceland's financial crisis as well as its precarious future. Collage elements are implemented in order to heighten the overall feeling of post-modernist dread and latent absurdism.
