2007, 84 minutes, 35mm. In French with English subtitles. Special thanks to Montse Pedros (Eddie Saeta Films).
A young foreigner in Strasbourg spends his days sitting at an outdoor café, sketching the gestures and expressions of the women around him. Haunted by the memory of Sylvia, a woman he encountered there years before, he waits patiently for her to reappear. Whether passively observing the urban landscape and its inhabitants, or pursuing a woman who just might be the object of his meditations, he is the focal point of Guerín’s impossibly delicate, alert, and sensitive film, a movie that foregrounds the act of looking like few others.
