First of all because of the rhythm of its images, its visual scansions, its rigorous framing, its lighting and the direction of its actors - it's a concentration of cinematic elements chosen for their efficacy. We're far from the overwhelming narrative efficiency of American cinema - Mazars demonstrates a genuinely professional efficacy that gives each shot its own dynamism and strength - the result of a fully realized original concept. The codes of the fantastic are simultaneously amplified and kept at arms length. Mazars achieves this by applying a humorous expressionistic technique, perhaps a first for the genre. Some extreme close-ups of flowers and insects recall the writings of Caillois; this is the first time that I've seen anything equivalent to his work in a cinematic context. There's a dual movement in this film: the restraint of individual shots contrasts with an overall impression of bulimia - a frenetic desire to film.This may be what we find so disturbing; it forces us to refocus our vision in a whole new way. The film acknowledges a lengthy heritage of process and narration,which becomes grist to its extremely personal mill. ...Alain Mazars Short Films Collection ( Rouges Silences / Le Jardin des âges / Visages Perdus / Actus )
