On the way to Syracuse

director: Patrick Bokanowski
original title: Vers Syracuse
country: France
year: 2020
running time: 5 min.

synopsis

A prosaic record of a trip to the beach presented as a series of captivating, abstract scenes reminiscent of moving impressionist paintings. The camera is not being used to represent reality, but rather to reimagine it. Shots of people sunbathing and horses galloping along the coast reveal a picturesque quality of everyday life not seen very often, if at all.
