CinĂ©maton n°52: F.J. Ossang feels like a fragment of time, caught in that odd space where avant-garde meets personal narrative. The pacing is deliberately slow, which might throw off casual viewers, but itâs this very languor that lets you soak in Ossang's essence, his thoughts almost radiating from the screen. You can sense the rawnessâit's not polished, but that makes it all the more intimate. The use of practical effects, or lack thereof, lends a certain authenticity to the piece; you're very much aware that you're watching a human being in a space rather than a constructed reality. Itâs distinctive in its simplicity yet profound in what it captures about the artist and the moment.
This film isn't just a piece of cinema; it's part of Courant's ongoing exploration in the Cinématon series. While not overly common, it does pop up in collector circles every so often, usually on obscure tapes or limited editions. Interest remains modest but steady, with collectors appreciating its uniqueness and connection to Ossang's broader work. If you're into the depths of experimental film, this one holds its own as a must-see artifact from the late 70s.
