Description

:icondonotplz::iconusemyartplz: For more movies: [link]

A reflection on power and sensuality, Paragenèse explores the body-language and relationships of three linked characters in an enigmatic universe where verbal communication does not exist. The strong movements, staged performance, and lights add to the oddity and poetry of their mysterious - and harsh - world.

Direction, film and music by Jean-Sébastien Monzani
Cast:
The Queen: Claire Deutsch
The King: Vincent Brayer
The Valet: Adrien Barazzone

Camera 2: Sébastien Monachon
Assistant: Jonas Fornerod

Choreographies adapted from two earlier live performances of the actors.

For better quality, I strongly advise to watch the DivX version or the file on Vimeo: [link]

This was interesting!
Nicely choreographed, amazing actors, and a cool concept.
I thought that after the valet came in and started (for lack of a better phrase) fooling around with the queen, the king got jealous and sort of disfigured the valet with that black gack-like putty. Of course, when he admonished his queen, she fought back in defense of herself. But in the end the king and queen end up blind and faceless, just like everyone else under their status that goes by unnoticed and uncared for.
It kind of reminded me of King Henry VIII and Katherine Howard and how he killed her lover and then her after he found out she was cheating on him.
Sheesh! Another long comment from me! Why do you have to be so brilliant? It's making me think and interpret, darn you! :D
Anyway, great work!
