Trixi

Trixi showcases Béatrice Cordua in a unique cinematic experience, filmed in one continuous 8-hour session. The film captures her emotional journey, transitioning from shyness and fear to playful posturing and eventual exhaustion. The camera’s mobility plays a crucial role, featuring extreme close-ups and overhead shots that heighten the intimacy of the performance.

This film is significant for its exploration of the relationship between the performer and the camera. The constant gaze of the camera serves as both an object of desire and a tool for self-exploration. Cordua’s reactions create an evolving narrative, reflecting the film’s open structure and Dwoskin’s experimental style. Trixi stands out as a notable entry in avant-garde cinema from the late 1960s, appealing to collectors interested in unconventional storytelling and unique filmmaking techniques.
