Synopsis
After the collection of Greek films Spaces #1 comes Spaces #2. The series of seven films by world-renowned filmmakers such as Denis Côté, Radu Jude, and Jia Zhangke is inspired by Georges Perec's book Espèces d'espaces and the lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic. A condition for the creation of the series of short films was that the directors shoot them in their homes. The permitted exteriors were a terrace, garden, or balcony. Côté's post depicts a black-and-white emotional reality filled with watching porn videos and melodramas. The doses of affected emotions and orgasmic moments act as a drug that allows one to forget for a while the isolation and frustrating aimlessness of coronavirus timelessness.„The best thing I have heard about myself was when a film critic from Toronto said, 'When you start watching a Denis Côté film, you never know what’s gonna happen.'” (Denis Côté)
