What is the true nature of a woman

DirectorClaudia Schillinger

1987
10 min

The film shows a woman in front of a mirror, whose preparatory gestures are fragmented by re-photography. In an electrifying blue tone and hand-processed, the film reveals intimate moments of a couple at the table, caught in repetitions of media clichés of tenderness. Structural repetition and changing perspectives intensify the tension of waiting. The film switches to the male perspective in front of the mirror, followed by intimate scenes that address loneliness and unfulfilled desire.
