2009 14 min. 15 sec. Color
In this stunningly captivating narrative fiction short, a circus performer recalls a doomed passion and evokes the mystery of love and of loss. Alone in his home, he listens to a recording of the poem ("Mon Reve Familier" by Paul Verlaine, 1866) he once shared with the woman he loves. And, as he mends his disheveled performance costume, her images and words haunt him. Conjuring her in memory and dream, he suddenly sees her before him. He approaches her, searching, and she eludes him in a sensual dance. The film uses both dialog and voice over in French, English and Spanish (with subtitles in each). And -- with its lush colors and stunning imagery -- it moves effortlessly between the present, and memory and a dream. The film, like Verlaine's poem, becomes a subtle study of man and of love.
