Homicide(1975)
Silent film shot on 16 mm in the 1970s by the actor Denis Develoux, mainly known for the main role he played in L'idole des Jeunes (1976) by Yvan Lagrange. In Homicide, in a neo-impressionist style (Dulac, Epstein, Kirsanoff), a cyclical structure presents the parallel destinies of characters with hieratic behavior, having no links between them. They symbolize "states": the heterosexual couple, the homosexual couple, female solitude, offering few prospects of happiness or fulfillment. From the film there emerges an impression of disenchantment which at the same time bears witness to an era and transcends it.
