La confesse

An introspective and unsettling dialogue piece that feels like eavesdropping on a private, slightly surreal confession.

Directed by

Pascal Rémy

Starring

Éric Houzelot, Philippe Thomine

Overview

A man jumps off a train and soon after arrives in a sort of dressing room where a mannered individual is copiously putting on make-up. Between the man and this stranger a dialogue is established, the first one telling a story that happened to him with a woman... or rather his quest for a woman, his hesitations, his feelings of hope, joy and anguish. In return, he will only get laconic and disillusioned, ironic, even aggressive answers until he is properly and simply chased away.

How it feels

Melancholic, dark, eerie and cynical. Slow-burning and demanding.

About

Loneliness, identity, isolation, obsession

Content

Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
