Director: Pierre Creton
France, color, 2010, 40’
French with Turkish subtitles

One of Pierre Creton’s first films was called La Vie après la mort / Life After Death and showed him in the house of a much older friend, Jean Lambert. Seven years after the death of his friend, he still lives in this house. He has taken up images form that time, patching them together, guided by the reading of Pavese’s Métier de vivre / Business of Living. Everyday acts induce supernatural thoughts.
