Chacun son point de vue

Tones: absurdist, contemplative, darkly comic
At a wedding dinner, a photographer well outside the centre of the meal finds himself in the middle of a tense scene caused by a drunk, intrusive guest. The situation erupts into a moment of chaos, as absurd as it is meaningful.

A wedding dinner gone sideways is the most tired setup in indie comedy, but Naulin somehow makes the drunk intruder feel genuinely unsettling rather than just a vehicle for yuks—that tonal pivot is where the film earns its absurdism.
The two-minute constraint forces a precision in editing that recalls the economic language of Tati or Koreeda; each frame of the photographer's peripheral witness stance becomes compositional argument about where meaning lives in social collapse.
The genius move is making the photographer himself peripheral to his own story—the camera keeps him slightly out of frame while chaos swirls, and that spatial choice single-handedly reframes what could've been a standard party-disaster into something genuinely contemplative about observation and complicity.
