Who has never felt lost in a crowd? Who has never questioned their own identity through the anonymity of the city streets? In FAUSSE SOLITUDE Pierre-Yves Cruaud lets himself go in an urban merry-go-round until he reaches dizziness. With the camera fixed on the image of his face, he pulls us into his solitude. Accompanied by electronic noises created by the film-maker himself, the different urban images are presented as a circular wall surrounding Pierre-Yves, faster and faster, to give us a feel for the crushing pressure of speed that is part of every modern city. The film is almost a physical phenomenon in itself as the pain and stress of the fast-paced reality of urban life seems to be inescapable Pierre-Yves presents FAUSSE SOLITUDE as an experimental digital creation as a personal portrait of his city, Paris. The eventual suffocation that we feel as a result of watching his film is in stark contrast with the image that we have of Paris as the city of romance.
