A silent fisherman in Texas, a blazing oil field in North Dakota, a mysterious community in Virginia, a women’s prison in Oregon, and a modernist home in California are the ostensible subjects of Austin Lynch and Matthew Booth’s new feature, GRAY HOUSE. But as meditations upon nature, isolation, decadence, and destitution, they are flawless conduits for seamless blends of documentary and narrative form, and stunning explorations of sound, image, and cinematic time. Mysterious and elusive, yet possessing an aesthetic and sensory unity (appearances by Denis Lavant, Aurore Clément, and Dianna Molzan mix with direct addresses from real-life laborers and inmates), GRAY HOUSE quietly recalibrates one’s sense of the world and our place within it.

Accompanied by my camera, I put into images this long voyage that would offer me the best, as well as the worst.

뮤지컬'80년대 갤러리'를 준비하던 아커만은 재정상의 문제로 3년을 기다려서야 완성을 볼 수 있었다. '80년대'는 그 지난한 3년 동안을 기록한'80년대 갤러리'의 제작 과정에 관한 다큐멘터리이다. 오디션을 준비하고, 동선 연습을 시키고,'80년대 갤러리'〉의 미장센을 고민하는 연출자 아커만을 이 영화에선 자연스럽게 지켜 볼 수 있다. 그러나〈80년대〉는 메이킹 다큐에만 머물지 않고, 독창적인 편집 리듬과 실험적인 사실 재현으로 새로운 픽션의 영역을 창출해낸다.

Set amid the European community in an unspecified North African country, a colony on the verge of nationalism just before the war. And colonized is what happens to a French diplomat, Julien Rochelle, when he meets the mysterious beauty Clothilde de Watteville. Schmid 's favorite axiom, that love is projection, never had such a thorough airing. Is Clothilde really the wife of a French official now holed up in Siberia? Or is she Hecate, goddess of black magic and devourer of the Arab boys she meets far from the European quarter? Only our projections know for sure; for the rest, she is a "woman looking out into the night." Drawn from a novel by Paul Morand, who based the main character on his wife Helene, Schmid's film achieves an atmosphere of magic in which psychological credibility is not so much absent as irrelevant-a film that distances itself from the drama it invokes, perhaps as the elusive Clothilde turns her back on the madness she provokes.

After his twin sister is killed in an accident, her distraught brother (Laurent Malet) jams her corpse in a cello case and hits the road.

Although there are women in the lives of the three main protagonists -- a middle-aged architect, his construction designer, and a journalist -- the women are not as crucial to the men's search for an identity as the title might suggest. When the three men run into a former professor of the architect and designer, they are inspired by his fanfare and expansive nature. Still in search of solutions to their particular problems, the men head out to visit the professor and get to the bottom of their own issues. Unfortunately, the professor turns out to be more "loco" than otherwise, and the three men watch their hopes burst like a popped balloon -- it seems like their ability to assess human character should now be added to their list of problem spots.
