Le Parc
Damien Manivel
Two teenagers find themselves in a park, where they look for each other by way of a sentimental, shy, gauche, and out-of-tune choreography. Damien Manivel films these two bodies in the landscape, and seems to be simultaneously recording the environment’s air and vibrations. At its core, Le Parc drifts away and derails from its prosaic craftsmanship towards an oneiric fantasy. Then comes the time for goodbyes – the boy returns home – and the time for nightfall. The ensuing text message exchange transforms into a breathless and heated power struggle. This episode opens up on a second choreography, which constitutes the hallucinated and possessed rerun of its previous iteration, like a conjuring rite carried out through the elements and figures of night-time.
