Paci

About This Movie

So, this film 'Paci' is a really intriguing blend of documentary and dance. Juliette Roudet, who is both the director and choreographer, dives deep into her Corsican roots. The atmosphere is heavy with unspoken tension — her uncles have this rough exterior, and you can feel the estrangement. What’s fascinating is how she transitions from dialogue to dance as a means of communication, which kind of adds this layer of abstraction. The pacing feels reflective, almost meditative, allowing you to sit with the weight of the past. It’s not just about the interviews but how movement can express what words often fail to. Feels like a personal journey, sculpted through choreography and familial reconnection.
