Saw this back in the day, and had to look up everything about Gaelle Denis. This is what digital film should be.

Really liked the slip cg part in the dead center of the piece, used to switches from real to imaginary worlds. You can FEEL that slip! The sound effects, the lighting, the slow motion, just very impressively done. Just watch the water splash from her arm! Everything about that shot denies how it was made (fake-bonking head on a green screen table) to the extent that you must watch it over and over to catch any imperfections.

AND, the mousy-voiced Joanna Newsom track at the end is a wooonderful fit... I really like it when music choice compliments a film well, even if its this overt.
