Wall Engravings — I thought life was a poem by Guy Gilles

I had this project in the pipeline for quite a while! Roberta and Lorenzo wrote it I think over a year and a half ago but I only found the time in the last few weeks to get into it. Every time I return to a video essay I understand why I like this work so much. Being face to face with the movie like when I was at film school. You and editing. You and directing. You and nothing else. I admit that French cinema is not really in my preferences, but Guy Gilles is really a forgotten auteur who deserves a lot of attention, whatever your taste. So I hope you enjoy this video! Let me know what you think in the comments!
