Interiors






"In the cinema, a society that has lost its gestures seeks to reappropriate what it has lost while simultaneously recording that loss.


An era that has lost its gestures is, for that very reason, obsessed with them; for people who are bereft of all that is natural to them, every gesture becomes a fate.And the more the ease of these gestures was lost under the influence of invisible powers, the more life became indeciferable. It is at this stage that the bourgeoisie- which, only a few decades earlier, had still been firmly in possession of its symbols- falls a victim to interiority and entrusts itself to psychology".
