The Shepherd's Hour

The Shepherd's Hour delves into the concepts of advertising and time, drawing inspiration from Samuel Beckett's reflections on Proust. The film features a scene with the character drinking Berger pastis, which is linked to personal memories and social gatherings. This connection illustrates the interplay between nostalgia and routine in everyday experiences.

The film is tied to the earlier work Maniquerville, both created during the same period. The director's approach to The Shepherd's Hour is characterized by a light and intuitive touch, contrasting the heavier themes explored in Maniquerville. This film invites viewers to reflect on how simple moments can carry deeper significance in our lives.
