Nice Day For A Picnic
Belgium 2008, 4 min
director, screenplay, cinematography: Monica Gallab | editing: Lova Randrianasolo | production: Vincent Gilot | original music: Deborah Dourneau
The life of a man in today’s world: work, meetings, running over hot coals, impressing women, ripping off one’s clothes and being peeled. In Monica Gallab’s surreal short film these procedures are attached to one another in bizarre loops, yet the individual scenes never seem totally absurd. At the end is the pipe-dream of a beautiful day – picnic included, of course.
