The Others are a series of films made up of sequence shots. They show apparently
ordinary scenes of life, groups of people selected in a randomly way in
an urban context. Beyond the questioning on the bond and the possible belouging
to a community of individuals, I underline the body attitudes and postures
of each one. Thus by the choice of isolated situations the spectator is
invited to explore the diversity of the bonds which link the individuals.
The soundtrack alternates between various atmospheres and gives each time
a new reading to the story : sometimes cynical or burlesqu, sometimes comic
or poetic.
Les Autres, The Other, part I
The first prtof this film dwells on the position of an individual within
a crowd which seems to form a homogenous whole. Different people are shown
spontaneously and yet, a sense of uniformity emerges. The individual mimetically
merges whith the whole and the notion of individuality seems to be annihilated.
Les Autres, The Other, Part II
The second part focusses on the notion of « clan » or group.
The individual seems to mimic each member of the group in order to be recognised
and accepted. We can observe a strong identification process at work in
the way they behave or dress. The soundtrack and music chosen accentuates
tne natural bodily choreographies.
