Jean Eustache Short Film Program

LE JARDIN DES DÉLICES BY JÉRÔME BOSCH: Following UNE SALE HISTOIRE, this half-hour film marks the continuation of Eustache’s collaboration with Jean-Noël Picq: the reconstruction of an evening during which Picq spoke about Hieronymus Bosch’s triptych ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’, which he does not regard as a religious image but rather as an asymbolic work devoid of logic, law, perspective and morality in which all hierarchies and orders blur.
OFFRE D’EMPLOI: The only film in Jean Eustache’s oeuvre to be commissioned is pointedly titled OFFRE D’EMPLOI (Job Offer) and describes the humiliating situation of a jobseeker confronted with an employer’s absurd selection criteria.
LES PHOTOS D’ALIX: A film about photography dominated by language – and one that demonstrates above all that ‘depending on what is said about it, an image does not remain the same image’ (Raymond Bellour). (hjf)
