Review of La chambre

La chambre (1972)
6/10
A film short
30 December 2018
Be calm and observe. What do you see? The film is titled "La chambre." It is a woman's bedroom rich in detail. It is a room that is lived in. The viewer naturally tries to compose a story from this detail, but there is little that can be said. The room is well lived in and has been for a long time. It is a woman's room. As the camera pans over the bed we see looking at us, As we pass again a second time she is peeling an orange. A private room has a center of gravity. And the camera's orbit begins to center on that and comes ever closer. The meaning is not in its detail of its "things." It will always be the person. A room is a reflection of the person who sleeps in it...
