Du dépouillement surgit le silence : une adaptation sous couvert de minimalisme audiovisuel by Louis Daubresse

“…We will thus study how, during the passage from the written word to the screen, certain properties are abandoned in order to better fuel others. Thanks to this film aesthetic which relies on a very limited number of attributes, our ears are pricked up, tracking down the slightest signal, while our eyes are focused on faces, bodies and setting elements which then take over the entire frame, reverting to cinematic foundations. …”
