27° TORINO FILM FESTIVAL

PLOT POINT

PLOT POINT
by Nicolas Provost
Country: Belgium
Year: 2007
Duration: 15'


PLOT POINT
Real and well-known American cop land
with its howling police cars, uniforms,
ambulances, and crowded streets very
soon turns into a perfect filmic scenery
questioning the boundaries of reality
and fiction, but also narrative codes
of cinema (tension curve, climax, plot
point), playing with our expectations.
And the sights of policemen and people
caught on the streets seems to build a
thrilling story, but the mistery is going
to remain unravelled.
