Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
FOOTNOTES TO A HOUSE OF LOVE
Synopsis
A series of shots in a California desert landscape in which there is a play between on frame and off frame, sound and image. There is an effort to create the space of a story, without a story, by the use of real time and diegetic sound.

Our take
A romantic yet melancholic idealism runs through Laida Lertxundi’s debut, in which young lovers abandon a crumbling cabin and physically embrace the beauty of the sun-drenched Californian desert. Documentation and artifice coalesce, as the landscape and the human form soften into an evocative whole.
