SOME SUNNY DAYS is a road-movie produce with poor means and about poor people.
Robert, the main character, leaves on his bike to look for a fridge through the countryside.
It's simple : it would have been easier to take a car to buy one in a supermarket...
SOME SUNNY DAYS is a silent movie.
The characters speak a little.
Just as much to try to understand each others but also to be polite.
The sounds of crickets, flies, woods, forest and water are more present than their voices.
SOME SUNNY DAYS is an absurd movie.
We enter in an "extra" ordinary and odd world.
The characters have no particular social identity.
They all meet by accident and have to bear each other until they can finally escape.
Everyone wants to stay in his own world.
In a way, they are narrow-minded, lonely and anti social.
Men speak little and women speak like hens.
Noone is able to understand, nor really appreciate each other.
SOME SUNNY DAYS is a slow movie.
Long “plan sequence” who feel the duration of time passing.
Actions are gradually dissolving into the landscape and give way of waiting (for an event ?).
SOME SUNNY DAYS is a film of conquest.
This movie is not a quest (infinite), but rather the conquest (indefinite) of self,
abandonment of illusions: the fridge is only literally nothing but an object of desire,
a reflection, a double, empty and meaningless.
A conquest of lucidity and unmistakable acquiescence to life, with or without
refrigerator it does not really matter.
Not an ascetic outside the world, but rather the contrary, an indefinite and fragile life |
