Car seuls les dieux ont mordu la pomme de l'amour

About This Movie

So, this one’s called 'Car seuls les dieux ont mordu la pomme de l'amour' from 2011, and honestly, it’s quite the introspective piece. It captures the closing chapter of a 24-year journey in Burzet, France, where the landscape feels almost haunted—like a character in its own right. Shot on silver film, you can really see the texture in the images, almost like a memory that’s fading. The pacing is deliberate, encouraging you to soak in the emptiness of the spaces left behind. Themes of loss and nostalgia are really woven throughout, and there’s a rawness to the way it’s presented. It’s not flashy, but there’s a kind of beauty in its simplicity.
