About the Movie
Ana is a pianist and a composer. She is young, has an enviable social position, various musical projects and a great deal of drive. She lives in a big house, decorated in black and white, in a minimalist style, in a residential area.
An unknown admirer is sending her, from afar, paradoxical signs of love. These are ironical messages, unexpected presents, clever manipulations, that all have one thing in common: the colour blue and a moralizing nuance.
His seduction ritual is more like a show of his power, but also of his intelligence:
it suffices that Ana makes a wish and, in a short while, she gets "it".
About the Movie
The reality around her will be altered, and she will increasingly feel like an actor in a huge mediatic show, whose scenario will remain unknown to the very end.
The viewer is the one to imagine the motivations and intentions of the unseen character, who, just like a capricious god, orchestrates around himself a whole show, giving unpredictable and paradoxical proofs of love.
Director's statement
I wanted to make a cold, pharmaceutical movie, impeccable from a visual point of view, almost emotionless.
I do not have a very good relation with nowadays Romania, so I didn't, therefore, deliberately and somewhat programmatically, want to show it in my movie.
I am interested in altogether something else than "slices" of reality. I am attached to photography and the contemporary art, especially the conceptual one, so it is only normal that I would, at a certain point, try to illustrate a concept. I like to think that, in this approach, irony is one of the manners of expression that characterize me.
The visual occupies the first place among my preoccupations. I am not interested in the classical histrionics. I shall never make an "actor's movie". The presence of an individual interests me more than the way he/she acts.
Declaratia regizorului
I wrote 4 or 5 script versions. It's very hard for me to transpose, in a language somewhat exterior to me, what I "see" with great accuracy. I am bound to make few movies in my career, as I have an insufferable perfectionism.
I strongly believe in the art movie, the one that, through the originality of the director's vision, has the guts to snub all the patterns of the commercial movie.
I would love to make, some day, movies without a story, to be listened to in concert halls and exhibited in contemporary art museums.
