Don't Work (1968-2018)

About This Movie

So, 'Don't Work' kind of pulls you into the chaotic psyche of these two Fine Arts students in Paris. It's not your typical documentary; César Vayssié captures their relationship amidst this backdrop of overwhelming noise and global tension. You really feel the weight of their experiences, the way the digital world intrudes on their lives. The pacing is deliberately slow, which gives you time to soak in the atmosphere—the clutter of sounds, the visual chaos. It’s like a meditation on the fragility of simple human gestures in a world that's lost its calm. Their performances feel raw and real, and there's something striking about how the film contrasts their intimacy with the loudness of the world around them. It's definitely a unique piece worth considering.
