En chien

About This Movie

En chien (2021) is an intriguing exploration of solitude and fantasy through the lens of music and visual storytelling. The film presents Adelaïde, a woman caught in her own world, drinking alone and drifting into a haze of intoxication. The way she interacts with the black-and-white film from the 1940s and the fashion magazine gives it this surreal, almost dreamlike quality. The pacing feels languid, matching the ebb and flow of her thoughts, and there's something mesmerizing about the way her imagination interweaves with the imagery. The practical effects, while subtle, enhance the atmosphere of longing and escapism, making it a distinctive piece that resonates on an emotional level. It’s one of those films that lingers with you, thanks to the raw, relatable performance from its lead.
