"There's No Shadow in the Desert" a dramatic film by Yossi Aviram, a director known for his ability to encode profound messages and strong emotions in his stories, is released in cinemas this Wednesday, February 28, 2024. The director of"La Dune" offers us a new exploration of the dramatic genre, starring Valeria Bruni Tedeschi and Yona Rozenkier.
"Il n'y a pas d'ombre dans le désert" is set in Tel Aviv. It's here that Ori, played by Yona Rozenkier, crosses paths with Anna, played by Valeria Bruni Tedeschi. One of the most recognized actresses of her generation, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi is renowned for her intense roles and elegant, nuanced interpretation. Here, she finds a new character with impressive depth to embody in Anna, a French writer with mysterious interactions with Ori.
The plot of"There's No Shadow in the Desert" is meticulously constructed around the trial of a Nazi war criminal. This serious and intense context gives rise to many powerful scenes. It also shapes part of the film's atmosphere, immersing the viewer in a bygone era marked by terror and injustice.
One of the film's highlights is the chance meeting between Ori and Anna. Ori is shocked to recognize in Anna the love of his life. A passionate relationship they'd had in Turin two decades earlier not only haunts his memory, but shakes his reality when Anna assures him they've never met.
The aura of mystery that envelops this alleged relationship compels Ori to embark on an emotional and geographical journey that takes him to the desert. The crankshaft of this love story may well be there, in the inhospitable aridity of the desert, where "things become clearer".
"Il n'y a pas d'ombre dans le désert" is a cinematic tour de force. Scheduled for release on February 28, 2024, it promises to touch the hearts of cinephiles and lovers of well-crafted drama. Playing with traditional narrative conventions, Yossi Aviram offers a story that, like the desert, promises to illuminate the darker areas of life and love.
