The scouts

Everyone expects experimental work to *do* something—deconstruct, provoke, rupture—but Bossé just lets two bodies exist in time, which is somehow more radical than the usual formal gymnastics; the quiet refusal to perform is its own rebellion.

Felix

A distilled meditation on aging and eros that knows its place in cinema's long conversation about bodies in space—the white room recalls both Bresson and minimalist video art, yet Bossé finds something irreducibly tender in the formal constraint.

The revelation isn't conceptual; it's in how Bossé lets stillness breathe between movements, so that a single gesture of reaching becomes the entire architecture of desire—a film that trusts one sustained compositional choice to carry everything.
