The Creator’s drama in „Dans la ville de Sylvia” (José Luis Guerín)
With a significant topos in the internal geometry of the film (Strasbourg), Dans la Ville de Sylvia (2007) evokes the drama of the artist whose creation is denied. His multiple attempts to create are unsuccessful because he lacks the access keys to the possible worlds of the guerian universe. The observer character appeals to his memories in his actions to destroy the irreversibility of time and he finds himself lost in this temporal continuum. The dialogical aspect of the film lies in the power of its acoustic images, materialized in an intersection of codes whose deconstruction leads to a longing for the absolute essence. The attempt to recover the miraculous is reconfigured on the background of everyday life.
