“Exploring the clichés found in what is called ‘genre film’ where you are constantly stripping things down ultimately gives you the freedom to be complex.
Cars, manly men, women who go out alone at night, corpses on display, the policeman, the killer, the outcast — these are the clichés of the genre, the typical ingredients of a basic thriller. I think the movie uses these basic elements that we are all familiar with to try and descend into a very complex world.
This is the world of today where everything is hard, violent, where relationships are governed by the rules of domination, whether inherited or circumstantial. The rhythm, images, and the way the actors inhabit their characters create a film that is like a muted, tense nightmare from beginning to end, with unsettling silences. We are in the real world, but with an opaque, dreamlike ambiance where words are rare and reverberate in imprisoned bodies”.
