It could be bedlam: a father, a train driver living alone with his daughter, who is a student old enough to live her own life, while he could well switch rails. But 35 Shots of Rhum is a film of suspension, of a moment that lasts and persists, an infinite tenderness and few inexpressible words. So, Claire Denis shows us the skin of this time, silent, muted yet crystalline gestures, and they bewitched us. Unspoken words, delicate ellipses, the art of stippling and deferral, at the invisible border of the city and its suburb, time that speeds between the rails, and waiting, for a story that unfolds like a legend invented before our eyes drunk with emotion. Urban transport? Cinematographic? JB
