The Visitors

This very short film presents itself as the illustration of a maxim – “A man’s home is his castle” – to turn it into an ironic counter-example. In this case: it is impossible to imagine controlling everything when dealing with nature. Using a very simple device (childish drawing, single plan, alternation of texts/drawings), he in fact opposes two series: - man / order / house / enclosure, on the one hand, - animals (spiders) / the uncontrolled / the exterior / the open, on the other hand. But the point is not developed, it is above all a joke, both visual and textual, nevertheless sophisticated in its form and particularly effective, approaching the “witty joke” (witz), of which it shares the brilliance and apparent simplicity.
