Julius Ziz, Louis BENASSI

Storm over London

Fiction expérimentale | hdv | noir et blanc | 36:0 | Lituanie, USA | 2014

Storm over London is a film that seemingly uses the tropes of narrative however the film hesitates to make a conclusion instead it take us into a journey of speculation.There is a storm brewing in London, there are riots in the streets. Who is that person laying on the bed? And what's all this about a fly. Storm over London is an enigmatic,surrealist detective story with a touch of Kafka.
