L'arbre of Julie Bertuc (c) elli tells the story of a family and a tree. The O'Neil family lives simply and happily in the hilly region of Queensland, is behind her house, an ancient, broad-leaved fig tree branched . The film begins with a prefabricated house of wood, which is run by Peter O'Neil on a trailer to its destination. When Peter returns from the transport, he suffered a cardiac arrest, loss and pain draw into the house under the tree. Simone, the only daughter and after own perception of the father's favorite child, crawls for hours and nights on the branches of the tree. Soon she is convinced that her father speaks to her from the tree. The idea is childish and spun for soothing and comforting and Simon helps her mother Dawn again take to kick in life. But the tree is not only a source of comfort. Its branches are threatening the house, the sprawling roots of the neighbors. And finally, it is as if crystallized in him Resistive and unspoken, until it culminates and brachial discharges. In the end, again, as it is a house on the road, one without walls and roof, however: in the O'Neil family leaves their tree, with only the bare necessities trunk of the car to establish new roots elsewhere.
L'arbre is a film as a photo essay, marked by long, quiet settings and magistral composed pictures: The wooden house that is occupied by a giant truck drove across the desert, festively illuminated on its way through the night. The view over the rolling plane in the morning and evening. And always the portraits of the ancient, wide-branched tree giant, his long, thick luxuriant roots, his curvy, almost corporeal knots, the silhouette of trunk and branches in the golden moonlight. The slow pace of course, tends to reduce the actions of the actors in stereotypical direction. The great Charlotte Gainsbourg however, be embodied within reach intense the abysmal emptiness and desperate loneliness of the Dawn O'Neil and then their strong awakening from the lethargy.
Product: L'arbre ran here a few weeks ago and now in Switzerland sporadically at best. Also on DVD or Blu-ray Disc, the film does not currently seem to be at hand, so only remains for me the link to the website .
