Sinossi / Synopsis
Las Vegas, riprese rubate e distratte nel Casino, fino a che, tra i tavoli, appaiono Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper, Jon Voight, attori parzialmente complici di un'opera che sovverte i codici del genere noir. Ripreso con una camera nascosta, il film, seconda parte della trilogia Plot Point, mostra come la suspense sia una forma che interroga la realtà. Al confine con la video arte, il belga Nicolas Provost percorre con maestria i confini tra fiction e reale, lì dove basta uno zoom per creare un sospetto.
Las Vegas, stolen and distracted shots in the Casino, until Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper and Jon Voight, actors who are the partial accomplices of a film that subverts the codes of the noir genre, appear at the tables. Shot with a concealed camera, the film, the second part of the trilogy Plot Point shows how suspense is a form that interrogates reality. Bordering on video art, the Belgian Nicolas Provost skilfully crosses the borders between fiction and fact, where it only takes a zoom to create a suspect.
