Catharsis
2011, French. Directed by Cédric Prévost.
Thirty year old Alexander is a budding film-maker. One night he wakes and is stunned to find he is being filmed by the very same camera that enables us to see his every move. In bed beside him, his girl-friend, Emeline, appears blissfully unaware of what is happening to him. He begins to realise that he is trapped inside a film, a delusion that seems to embody his obsession with film-making. From now on, he battles, body and soul, to set himself free.
