Born slightly stunned
Director Eric Pellet
Countries France
Duration 238 min
Synopsis
Born slightly stunned is composed of autobiographical fragments recorded over a period of four years."Born slightly stunned" were the actual words noted by the midwife on his report. The experience of vision itself is the film's core ; the body its medium. A camera becomes an extension of this body to touch and be touched by presences and absences. Beings from three realms, spaces, seasons and elements combine with the rhythm at the heart of the film: that which animates the living. It is a question of putting the great antagonisms into crisis : birth versus death, light versus darkness, sight versus touch.
