Chris Gallagher. Undivided Attention
The CCCB's cinema
The Canadian Chris Gallagher’s film evokes the experience of the initiatory journey as a metacinematic treatment. Structured like a series of independent sequences, the film gravitates around a recurrent shot: a woman and a man with their backs to us, driving in an open-top car. Supposedly an abstract road movie, the film records Canada’s urban and rural landscape through ingenious filmic concepts which result in a reflection on the medium’s illusionist background.
