SUR LE QUAI

Directed by Robert Cahen
France, 1978
Avant-Garde, Short

Synopsis

This short film is essentially a long take, shot with a high-speed camera (200 frames per second) and showing passengers waiting on the platform of a railway station and the arrival of the train. It is as though the movements are hanging in balance somewhere between movement and stillness.
