About
At first glance JeanClaude Rousseaus films seem like quickly outlined sketches They are snapshots of various situations and locations as in this program of nine miniatures shot in hotel rooms and parks at the shore of a lake and in the longest contribution on a restaurant terrace Rousseaus observations of everyday life however are about precision rather than contemplation With each minute that passes they sharpen the view of the observant and expectant outsider for a moment of surprise be it a jump into the water or a huge crucifix
