Désiré(albert DUPONTEL-Court Métrage)
envoyé par yroshimasystem. - Regardez des web séries et des films.
This short film by Albert Dupontel is enacted in a future (not so far away perhaps?) society where even the births are automatized and done in a sterile milieu, on assembly lines.
Left more or less alone with the machines, the mother tries to alert the doctor, the nurse and her husband when the baby is born to early but as they all rely on the machines for monitoring and estimate the time for birth, they do not observe when the mother gives birth.
Through circumstaces in the narrative, they don't even find the baby when it's born. Instead they think that the mother has not yet given birth and this create an emergency situation in this highly technocratic state where everything normally is done on time.
A baby that doesn't want to be born, is of course a sensation!
The mise en scène reminds me of books like 'Kallocain', 'Fahrenheit 451' and '1984' and it's a very amusing idea, displaying the dangers in letting the technical equipment take over.
The title plays with the name Désiré/Desire - wanted, desired but also in the French combination; 'Se faire désirer', meaning 'waiting for', 'hesitating to come out' etc.
Another unique and special oeuvre by Dupontel.
