Reflecting in a black diamond, portrait of a dead diamond... one thing is for sure, we will have played feet and hands not to scratch the title of the last film by Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani that we interviewed in Neuchatel. With its caleidoscopic narrative, this film pays tribute to the Fumetti neri the golden age of the films of spies. Taking the tone very first degrees of contemporary productions, Reflect in a dead diamond traces the troubled memories of an old man waiting for his destiny facing the sea. A ray of sun, a bitter, bare breasts and imaginary turbine at full speed to offer us so many hallucinated scenes.
Interview with Hélène Cattet & Bruno Forzani
With his improbable pass trick worthy of the Gadget Inspector, the old agent resounds his moments of glory, where the fight against crime is never far from the raw desire. A confusing film that savors itself by its formal attempts pushed to the extreme, even forgets some of its characters. Whatever, each fragment is savored like a regressive pan of our unconscious film. Portrait in a black diamond is an effervescent cocktail so close to the era comics that it is hardly surprising when thumbnails appear on the screen. A film to be reserved for lovers of the genre and which should certainly convince those who had fallen under the charm of the dark Diabolik. See you in the room now.
