Trixi
Stephen Dwoskin
1969 - Grande-Bretagne - Couleur - 30'

“This film which was shot during a single eight hour screening establishes and in an extremely violent way a kind of passage of power between the filmmaker and the spectator. On the screen, a woman literally gives herself up to our eyes. Up to this point, these images would only be sad variety of soft porn. What changes everything is that Dwoskin “replies” to this way of looking stating that the image is addressed only to him: reframing, zooming forward and back, close ups or wider shots. We cannot comfortably assume the position of the addressed, accept the invitation, answer to it. The troubling sensation of not being in our place, of having taken the place of another, of looking over his shoulder.” (Aline Horisberger)
