Abstract
How does one represent loneliness on film and make it tangible? Doing so implies the choice of a specific space, entering the main character’s inner thoughts and guiding the spectator’s gaze by alternating subjective shots with pseudo-objective close-ups. And here, the film-maker deftly avoids melodrama by resorting to irony.
