Être vivant is a stark documentary that plunges you into the raw reality of homelessness. The male voiceover offers a visceral account, almost clinical in its detail, as it traces the protagonist's physical decline and mental unraveling. The pacing is contemplative, allowing moments of silence to hang heavily in the air, inviting reflection. What sets this film apart is its unflinching honesty. There are no dramatized reenactments or manipulative music scores; it’s just the voice and the reality it describes. The practical effects are the lived experience, which is powerful in its own right. A real look at the fragility of life and the human condition, it leaves a lasting impression, echoing the struggles faced by those often unseen.
