A slow aerial approach to an urban area, with blocks of buildings glittering in the stillness of the night, opens the film. blocks of buildings glittering in the stillness of the night, followed by a daytime view of the seen by day, the same city, as if hollowed out. Softness and sideways movement Dania Reymond-Boughenou's challenge in filming the Rouguière housing estate in Marseille, beyond the clichés, far from the expected agitation and picturesqueness. It is a question of to film what has no image, to capture what makes the thickness and the flesh of the place, to of the place, to transmit the spirit that irrigates it. One after the other, heard off camera, distant memories of memories of the inhabitants, like this woman recalling the shock of her arrival from of her arrival from Algeria or this man recounting snatches of his childhood. Stories that accompany a slow descent, words, memories, towards bodies seen and heard at human seen and heard at human level. Dania Reymond-Boughenou undertakes,
successive layers, to film the invisible, like vibrating waves echoing the vibrating waves echoing the violence of the stories heard, joined to the great movements of the great movements of history, the Algerian war, AIDS in the 1980s, or the more recent ravages the more recent ravages of drugs. Vibrant presences, like the wind wind that shakes the foliage on which the film lingers in hypnotic and hypnotic and caressing dollies. Thwarting filmic genres, mixing temporalities, authorising the fantastic, it thwarts codes and shifts assignments. And with an unexpected lyricism, carried by discreet and melancholic musical and melancholy, to untie and link bodies and voices, to make palpable what has taken place.
what has taken place. To embody a haunted world and, as the constellation of the title indicates, to shed light on the of the title, to highlight the voids and absentees whose dim light illuminates these illuminates these places. (Nicolas Feodoroff)
