The Formation of Clouds - DVD/La formation des nuages - DVD
Description
Childhood is a private, fragile terrain in which the marks of our explorations
are inscribed. A delicate, sensitive evocation of burgeoning desire, The
Formation of Clouds follows the steps of a young girl in the
midst of transformation, clearly delineating that odd moment when one is no
longer a child, exactly, but not yet an adult either. Using the simplicity of
pen and ink drawings with graceful superimposition effects on glossy paper,
Marie-Hélène Turcotte succeeds in capturing all the nuances of this
transitional stage, in which the ingenuous wish to remain a child accompanies
the yearning for self-discovery. With grace and sensitivity, this first short
film becomes a visual poem that plays out at the frontier between reality and
imagination. Film without words.
