Essai 21
$2.99
Description
Exhausted by his work and the routine, a person decides to suddenly break his daily life and wander in unknown places, in which he gradually sinks and gets lost.
With a protagonist never appearing on screen, the film relies on a minimalist, unsettling and contemplative aesthetic. It features immersive, ominous, mysterious sound design and invites to multiple interpretations. The atmosphere becomes increasingly oppressive, immersing the viewer in a pervasive sense of tension, a visual and existential unease. “Essai 21” can be likened to a hypnotic, introspective and unsettling experience.
Written, Directed and Edited by Florian Mauny
Music composed by Resonant Void
