Essai 21

Overview

Exhausted by his work and routine, a person decides to suddenly break his daily life and wander in unknown places, in which he gradually sinks and gets lost. Essai 21 is a film project of a certain magnitude in which I wanted to explore horror from another angle. The idea was to free myself from the codes of the genre by bringing something original, in particular through a specific choice of staging, a constantly disturbing atmosphere and an omnipresent contemplative aspect. One of the ambitions of this film was also to tell a story by following the protagonist's journey without ever making him appear, so as to arouse the imagination of the viewer as well as the different possible interpretations that result from it.
