Two tropical islands on either side of the Atlantic ocean. One deserted, the other organic. Two trips, twenty years apart. From each one I came back with images. Agua de vinagre is a travel film suspended between these two moments in time. An exploration of my presence through the images, the impossible expectation for an absent person to appear, there in front of the shutter of my camera. A cine-mourning.

In Le Livre d’Image, Jean-Luc Godard recycles existing images (films, documentaries, paintings, television archives, etc.), quotes excerpts from books, uses fragments of music. The driving force is poetic rhyme, the association or opposition of ideas, the aesthetic spark through editing, the keystone. The author performs the work of a sculptor. The hand, for this, is essential. He praises it at the start. “There are the five fingers. The five senses. The five parts of the world (…). The true condition of man is to think with his hands. Jean-Luc Godard composes a dazzling syncopation of sequences, the surge of which evokes the violence of the flows of our contemporary screens, taken to a level of incandescence rarely achieved. Crowned at Cannes, the last Godard is a shock film, with twilight beauty.
