Parfum de lumière

About This Movie

Parfum de lumière is a fascinating blend of animation and documentary that draws you into the vibrant essence of Hong Kong and Shanghai. The film feels like a visual poem, with its lyrical transitions and the way it captures the interplay of light and shadow—there’s a serene pace that allows you to breathe in the atmosphere. Serge Clément’s unique approach, translating his photographic explorations into animated form, really stands out. It’s not just about the visuals; there’s an intrinsic connection to the scents and sounds of these cities that permeates the experience. The swirling shapes and colors have a dreamlike quality, almost reminiscent of the way memories linger. It’s a distinctive piece that invites contemplation, rather than just passive viewing.
