Après-midi trilogie Movies

A trilogy of experimental shorts by French filmmaker, Jean-Claude Brisseau. Utilizing the same cast members each film acts out repeating motifs of morbid meditation, erotic daydreams, and violent death. Seemingly a product of the cultural malaise leading to Mai '68, the connection is made explicit with documentary footage in the final silent entry, 'L'Après-midi d'un jeune homme qui s'ennuie.'
