La Petite Mort (1991)

This film is the representation of a man's fleeting visions during his last moment of life. Lying on his death bed, he sees a rapid stream of impressions recorded since his birth. In maelstrom of images mixing various animation techniques (still drawings, real footage animation, photocopy animation, etc...) fragmented visions pass fleetingly on the screen, symbol of the agonizing man's consciousness. Shot on a frame by frame rostrum camera, the film is the fruit of months of painstaking work which leaves the impression of visual perfection with a non-narrative cinematic rhythm.
