IL CINEmA DI | THE CINEmA OF DANIELLE ARbID 39Two characters only, or rather three: one of them is the film director, Danielle Arbid; the second is Danielle’s father, the healthy, lively version of the past, with a mouth to speak with and eyes to see with; the third is the same man in the present, a very ill one, nearing his end. We see him only from the back, no face, no voice. A creature about to go whose presence the film director seems to be afraid of – or maybe, she fears his absence even more. The fear of loss is mixed with the fear of getting lost. monday, November 28th, spazio Alfieri, 8:45pmUN HOmmE PERDUA LOsT mANdi|by Danielle ArbidFrancia, Libano, 2007, 97’Thomas Koré, fotografo francese, percorre il mondo alla ricerca di esperienze estreme. Il suo cammino incrocia quello di Fouad Saleh, un fuggiasco senza una storia, né memoria del passato. Vagabondi notturni, tra Siria e Giordania, i due at- traversano insieme la terra desolata e deserta del sesso a pagamento nelle stanze d’albergo, nella più profonda provincia araba. Un film sulla perdita di sé, evocati- vo dell’approccio fotografico di Antoine D’Agata (consulente alla sceneggiatura del film) al quale il personaggio di Thomas Koré si ispira.sabato 26 novembre, La Compagnia, ore 22:15Thomas Koré, a French photographer, travels all over the world in search of extreme experiences. He crosses the path of Fouad Saleh, a fugitive without a story or memory of his past. Nocturnal wanderers rambling between Syria and Jordan, they go through the waste land of commercial sex in motel rooms, in the remotest Arabic province. A film about the loss of the self, reminiscent of the photographic approach of Antoine D’Agata (also consultant for the script) who inspired the character of Thomas Koré. saturday, November 26th, La Compagnia, 10:15pmTHIs smELL OF sExdi|by Danielle ArbidFrancia, 2008, 20’Un giorno a Danielle Arbid viene chiesto di realizzare un programma per la radio.
