Nouvelle de la tour L is this intriguing little piece from 2000 that takes a minimalist approach. It all happens at the foot of L tower with just two guys chatting about chocolate, which sounds mundane but it’s really more about the atmosphere. The pacing feels intentional, almost meditative, as their conversation unveils layers of human connection and absurdity. There’s a stark contrast between the mundane and the philosophical, and it’s kind of refreshing. You get the sense there’s more beneath the surface, and the performances are understated but effective, pulling you into their world. It’s a film that lingers with you, prompting thoughts long after it ends, and that's where its charm lies.
Nouvelle de la tour L has been somewhat elusive in terms of availability, often floating around in more niche collections. It’s a title that collectors might find hard to pin down, given its limited release and the obscurity of the director. There’s a certain charm in owning something so distinctively off the beaten path, and its scarcity keeps the interest alive among those who appreciate minimalist cinema. If you stumble upon it, it’s worth having in your collection for those quieter evenings.
