Lonely Child
It's already been thirty years since two Danish filmmakers signed a manifesto, expressing a desire for chastity in filmmaking. The rejection of artifice and the search for authenticity were its main elements, quickly mocked by the filmmakers themselves, in a single shot or a new film that contradicted their tenets. Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg left their mark on their era and on a generation of new filmmakers. But what do these films tell us today, given that they were such a departure from the mainstream of their time?
William owns a small DV camera, a personal item he uses constantly. Day after day, he records his daily life to preserve his memories. Sensing the end of his relationship with Médéric, his young lover, William takes advantage of two days spent in his company to immortalize a few moments of their reality. This work is the first Canadian film to emerge from the Dogme95 manifesto.
Pascal Robitaille
Pascal Robitaille is a Quebec filmmaker. He directed Lonely Child (2005), the only Canadian film to be part of the Dogme95 movement.
