Reprise

Reprise is a playful narrative experiment of a critical nature - a riddle in a seamless loop. The film is a circular narrative made out of 2 intertwined loops. It can be shown either as a short film, or as an endless one (as an installation).
Second Thoughts
Director of Photography
When Marie’s boyfriend proposes to her in front of his entire family, she doesn't know what to say and flees to the countryside to think it over alone. But her thoughts accompany her. They sit around her in flesh and blood: Her mother pesters her with baby names, exboyfriends climb down trees and a woman in a sari narrates her life in poems. Her would-be fiancé eventually joins her, clashing his own luggage of thoughts with hers. But what if you show your thoughts to each other? How much honesty can a relationship take? In her first feature, director Zora Rux, an apprentice of Swedish filmmaker Roy Andersson, tells a surrealistic story of the search for one’s true self in poetic tableaus.

Austerlitz
