(P3ND3JO5)

The visual forcefulness of P3ND3JO5 is evident. The 4:3 format, the black and white, shots that echo the rigorous framing of silent films, tracking shots that follow the skateboarders, gliding or slow motion shots of some of their figures, the fade-ins and fade-outs to film the movement of clouds or suggest the ghostly destiny of these young people. Three acts and a coda. The story is limited to narrative outlines: a few love stories, the loneliness and wanderings of a young man, a crime linked to police corruption and drug deals. The rest of the film moves on four wheels in an eternal and horizonless present with the young people, or those crucified by a society. RK
