German Premiere

The viewer is challenged to find and occupy his own position, to find his perspective in a similar way the filmmaker has found it on a look-out-point in the mountains.

Two parts, about the same length, answer each other but the tone isn't the same. There isn't much dialogue in COMME UNE OMBRE LEGERE, but there's a bit more and it's louder in FAIBLES AMUSEMENTS. In between the two, something happens or has happened. There really are thing you can hear like a story, not just echoes. And if they are echoes, they just wound up like that. – Jean-Claude Rousseau
