HOMEPAGE : LIST OF FILMS :

Topic I & II 1990 / 6'+6' Director: Pascal Baes Music by: Philippe-Jean Touscose Image processing: Pascal Baes Performers: Sarah Denizot, Laurence Rondoni, Jerome Bel, Pascal Baes Production: Pascal Baes France In Baes's Topic I & II the painterly quality of the dusky images is for good reason reminiscent of Francis Bacon's strokes. His figures are barely apparitions, trying to escape the capturing of time. Baes's camera literally chases its dancers in vain, as if they refuse the invasion of the privacy of their bodies, of their fragile dreamscape. Shot in Prague, it captures the feeling of the ending '80s. [ back to the list ]
