Vincent Lannoo’s J’adore le cinéma

Our reading

Théo Salina follows Georges, a lover of cinema who dreams up a trailer about two young women in love. The film then shows what other people's judgments, prohibitions and institutional pressure do to his project.

The review identifies the short film's central device: the trailer returns, but its meaning has changed. That reversal turns a playful use of images into a response to the enforced silence surrounding love and homosexuality.

Cinergie notes the film's gentle irony and recalls the jury's special mention. Beneath the humour and formal energy, the article sees a clear stand against taboos.
