Synopsis
Thanks to a commission (the land the new TGV line cuts through), facilitated by the specificities of the Dutch landscape, I was able to explore the way in which an era constructs countless layers of time and space without feeling any need to establish connections between them. The film is an invitation to experience this journey. We experience a rhythm that belongs to a new temporal ‘grammar’. The film is about time or, more precisely, the various times that today make up our everyday life. –Valérie Jouve

Wow, what a lovely little discovery on this site, probably something I would have never checked out if not for my free subscription. At once recalls the work of Peter Hutton and James Benning, but also Akerman's D'Est, Martin Parr's UK Images, and Fliegauf's Milky Way. Wonderful contemplative cinema, although I wish they didn't turn up the ambient techno music towards the end.
