Tout morose

Director and choreographers offer a funny and coloured contrast with the gloominess of that dull day sung by Jeanne Moreau

The same effect animates the entire film: water flows behind a window, blurs the faces and bodies that writhe behind, causes voices to gurgle and gives a bluish hue to the various scenes. The director and choreographers propose here a colourful and amused counterpoint to the bleakness of this dull day, sung by the clear voice of Jeanne Moreau.

There is a circus side to this universe that defies the gloomy expressions, before becoming abstract in an entirely white space peppered with colourful dancers like butterflies pinned to a frame. You’ve understood: Olivier Mégaton, José Montalvo and Dominique Hervieu have forgotten the words of the song to magnify the temperament of its interpreter.
