“Un rêve solaire”
This boxset contains the second and latest feature film by Patrick Bokanowski (2015-2016) as well as a new making-of by Pip Chodorov, along with a 16-page booklet.Unlike “L’ange” shot in the studio, “Un rêve solaire” is largely made up of real shots. The actors are no longer played under masks. The actors are us, spectators of unknown representations, or maybe even stellar spectators, a crowd of anonymous spectators standing out on skies of fire and water, but surely a part of a childhood dream during a journey by train.“There are not, or very few, words in my films. The music of Michèle Bokanowski plays a decisive role because it tells in its own way and in counterpoint what images or characters do not say.” Patrick Bokanowski“Un rêve solaire tells, concretely, of a struggle between shadow and light. These two simultaneous movements give the film its dynamic principle and its plastic energy.” Jacques Kermabon“Un rêve solaire”, Patrick Bokanowski (2015-2016), HD video, color, sound, 63’.Bonus: “Patrick Bokanowski - Genesis of “Un rêve solaire””, Pip Chodorov, 2017, HD video, color, sound, 7’.

Sure - but in which beauty and sensitivity, humor and anxiety creep in as Patrick Bokanowski recomposes, in his own way, these primordial elements, as one might rebuild a figure from the remnants of the exploded bits of an academic statue.” Jean-Michel Frodon, Le Monde“Do not attempt to understand the signification of these disturbing images. The work is visually superb. It touches us physically before reaching us metaphysically. In a field of shadows, these disoriented peasants harvest the invisible. Déjeuner du matin (Morning Breakfast) is a masterpiece.” Claude Mauriac, VSD“The brilliance of an ochre sea gives way to the rushing sparkles of fireworks, a rain of colors, a swarm of matter, to abstraction. There may be a thousand ways to fail to describe what is played out between Battements solaires and its beholder, the spectator transfixed by this symphony of colors and mysteries. Michèle Bokanowski's music provides an equally indefinable dimension.” Jaques Kermabon, Bref“La Femme qui se poudre had already shown us that this filmmaker, relentlessly transforming 'real' images through techniques borrowed from painting and animation, was capable of creating a world of madness and cataclysm and of beauty beyond words. Déjeuner du matin (Morning Breakfast) is a quite worthy successor. Simply put, it's a magnificent piece of cinema.” Michel Perez, Le Matin de Paris.
