Halida Boughriet

The overexcited night of a young pinched painter and a crazy comedienne. In the impossibility to end up alone, Laetitia and Thomas cross every situation between drama and lightness, until a violent event marks their meeting of a strange complicity.

Les Illuminés (2004), 2004 year during which the wearing of the veil and the burqa in public places was debated in France. It is in the Parisian metro, a collective and socially mixed space, that Halida Boughriet records her performance. She directs the axis of the subjective camera towards the gaze of those she meets. This leads the viewer to face these stunned glances too. [Auto-translated]
