CGiii Comment

To know what's going on...read the blurb!

It's just photographs and drawings...trying and failing to tell a cohesive story.

Some of the images are excellent...but, as a 'film' - it doesn't work.

Julia/Guiliana (2008) from Manon Bovenkerk on Vimeo.

Julia/Guiliana is an intermediate form of animation, cinema and graphic novel. The story is narrated in filmstills, comprised of delicate charcoal drawings and photographs of impassable modernistic architecture. Unable to truly relate to her surroundings, Julia sinks deeper and deeper into solitude and doubt. Is the woman she thinks she is seeing really her doppelgänger or just a hallucination? The film is an exploration of the possibilities of ‘sequential narrative’, as well as a personal declaration of love for a famous actress from the cinema of the 60’s.
