301 2008

Directed by Jean-Claude Rousseau

«301» is the number of a hotel room, in which Rousseau is waiting for something - or someone. The camera insistently studies a picture on the wall, focuses from the waiting person's view on a balcony across the way, or comes to rest on folded-over bed sheets. Rousseau's films demonstrate how public places turn into private ones and yet remain strange in the course of it.
