Paradox of Praxis 5: Sometimes we dream as we live and sometimes we live as we dream, Ciudad Juárez, México (2013 Francis Alÿs)

Even more stunning short film follows flaming football around night town, stunningly shot. Despite the objections of our guide Prof. Wendy this to me shares exactly the same space as Terence Malick, To The Wonder specifically. The only difference is that the latter catches a relationship, place and mood, this catches a place and mood. Just as well photographed and edited as the American's work, by Julien Devaux.


Diagetic sound adds to mood; impressionist, fantastic ending (kids on swings; fast passing car).
