Gwendoline

Roaming through rural France on their tandem bike, young post-punk musicians look for an audience and a name for their band. “Gwendoline,” directed by Joaquim Bayle, is a beautifully shot musical odyssey in 16mm black-and-white film that’s both bleak and lighthearted.
Director: Joaquim Bayle. Cast: Gwendoline, Tristan Tenardier, Jean-Louis Sbille, Dominique Boissel. Director of photography: Angelo Marques. Editor: Joaquim Bayle, Robin Watine. Producer: Alix. Sound: Mathias Scherrer. Original score: Gwendoline.

this film is impeccably shot. youth is a double-edged sword, on one hand you are constantly met with disappointments and despair, and on the other hand you are only starting off in many ways. and it is almost always only the very old peeps who are able to see through a youngster's hopelessness and value their ardency and passion. this short film encapsulates it so well!! also the "..had a deep discussion with my dog" line is genius and four letters to fate. my sweet God, you're brilliant mr bayle! 2222
