L’INTRUS

(Claire Denis, Francia 2004, 130 min., v.o.s.e.)

Men touch each other with blows. An energetic duo about masculine construction. A deconstruction of the contemporary virile behaviour, acclaimed by some and questioned by many. CLINCH in boxing is the moment in which the two boxers hug and block each other until the referee separates them. This movement is about getting as close as possible to your rival to protect yourself from their attack. CLINCH exposes the most toxic masculinity, established in the competition, the denial and the confrontation to all that is different. Furthermore, the denial of feelings, excluding rage or fury, that must be demonstrated through the exercise of violence.

Un ciudadano francés, ya sexagenario, saca una importante suma de dinero de un banco suizo para sufragar su transplante de corazón. Después de la operación, viaja a Corea del Sur para discutir sus planes de construir el barco de sus sueños. Más tarde, el hombre continuará con un viaje hasta Tahití en busca de un hijo perdido.
