Terminus for you

The film takes viewers on a strange journey through the Paris metro, showcasing passengers as they transition from one platform to another. The black-and-white visuals create a thick grain that enhances the pictorial quality of the imagery. Geometric shapes and fragmented faces punctuate the experience, allowing glimpses into the lives of various characters, from young girls to elderly couples.

Nicolas Rey presents a comédie humaine that captures the essence of human interaction through a limited number of shots and fragments. The film is structured around affinities, illustrating the different moods and stories of the individuals traveling through the metro. As the narrative unfolds, the cinematic process approaches its limits, leading to a disintegration of images that leaves a lasting impression on the viewer. This aspect of the film invites deeper reflection on the nature of perception and memory.
