Neil Gaiman et Statuesque

[jerome]

Statuesque est un petit film de 10 mn écrit par Neil Gaiman.

Il y a une interview ici.

Extrait :
"How did your idea for Statuesque become one of the 10-Minute Films?
Neil Gaiman : I’ve known [producer] Hilary Bevan Jones for a decade, and we’ve always wanted to work together on something, so that was really where it all began. I didn’t know what it would be, but we like each other and have various things that we’re sort of doing together very slowly in the background. But back in May, I got a phone call from Hilary saying: “I think I’m going to do a series of ten-minute-long silent films and I would love it if you would write and direct one.” I didn’t have any kind of idea for a silent film – I was completely, utterly, irrevocably blank, but then I was at the bookstore Housing Works in New York, who had asked me and Amanda Palmer to do an event together. They had been doing a series of events where they combine authors and rock stars, so I think they had one with Augusten Burroughs and Tegan of Tegan and Sara, and they’d just had one with Salman Rushdie and somebody else and then me and Amanda."

Je suis une ferme admiratrice du monsieur, j'ai lu presque tout ce qu'il a fait et j'ai même réussi à apprécier "Mirrormask". Mais, sincèrement, ce court m'a laissée de marbre. Je l'ai trouvé un peu trop facile, même si poétique. J'ai été déçue, je m'attendais à quelque chose de moins conventionnel, surtout que ce n'est pas son premier essai...
