Hot-Dog

Experimental fiction | hdcam | color | 47:21 | France | 2013

Against a backdrop of thick fog and snow, on the island of Vassivière, ?Hot Dog? follows the wanderings of Ignatius, pushing his hot dog cart along the lake shore, meeting other uncanny characters along his path. As outlandish situations unfold, the characters in ?Hot Dog? find themselves confronted with both nature and artifice. In the winter landscape, on lunar shores, strange, surreal and absurd scenes reflect a jubilant and decadent world. In the melancholy and mysterious atmosphere, we lose our bearings and the landscape becomes a source of contemplation and danger, the natural setting becoming transfigured into a dream theater or a hallucination.
