Margaux Guillemard

Arnaud and Nora had a well-ordered schedule for a perfect weekend: a tour in a wildlife park, pictures with animals, sex, nap and dinner. But, the stifling heat, the lack of animals and Nora’s libido will ruin Arnaud’s methodical planning.

While he is overwhelmed by his debts and coping with his dying mother, Arnaud meets Momo, a magician from his neighborhood with unusual and mischievous behavior. This meeting will not ward off bad luck, quite the contrary. But perhaps the discovery of an old flute may be the solution to all their problems and change their destiny?

Considerations on collage as a cognitive act in artists’ cinema. A pedagogical film adrift: 35mm photographs and other materials collected over the last fifteen years by artist Stefano Miraglia meet a text written by Baptiste Jopeck and the voice of Margaux Guillemard.

A vertical journey through a Parisian social housing estate. From dawn till dusk, floor by floor, different cultures and atmospheres talk to each other in a tender way.

How much can one imagine, feel, and how many times can one gain trust and lose trust, within only 4 minutes and 33 seconds? Using as a starting point her desire to represent a certain kind of silence, the director plays with the spectator's need for reliability. The film is never what one believes it is - until the last revelation. "The Last Name of John Cage" acts as still dialogue between a loud inner tension and the silent one all around.
