Description

A director falls into a deep personal and creative crisis in the middle of a film shoot. Games and historical variations thereof are the starting point for this essay, which explores traditions, identity and masculinity through details that reveal acts of competition, love, violence, brotherhood, power, pathological lying and memory. (RS)
