Storyline

Last June I met Arno, a 20-year-old boy. I fell in love with him. He didn't. To be sure I'd see him again I asked him to take part in a project. Compilation, 12 instants d'amour non partagé (Compilation, 12 moments of unshared love) came out of this. All summer long, every day from June 21st to September 21st, I asked him to come to my place to listen to music.

One of the best french experimental films in my opinion

I had the great honor of seeing this film at the Belfort Film Festival last year and I was quite moved.

Basically, The director created a playlist of 12 songs dedicated to the boy he fell in love with and each is played in it's entirety with nothing else but the face of the boy on the screen, who is listening to the song and the audience is shown his expression and reaction to each song.

No it's not a thriller. It's not a comedy. It's simply beautiful

It's the kind of movie you can sit back and just enjoy what is passing in front of your eyes, yet feel deeply moved by the meaning of it all
