1. Farabeuf
la crónica de un instante
A hypnotic, fragmentary meditation on memory, desire, and the fixation on a single instant, told through recursive scenes that circle an operating room, a beach at dusk, and a notorious photograph of torture. A surgeon, his companion, and a silent observer repeat enigmatic rituals of pain and eroticism as the narrative loops and refracts, trying to reconstruct an event that can never be fully grasped.
