„Un muncitor nu are niciun ban. I se oferă o slujbă: să lipească afișe. Îi trebuie o bicicletă. Nevasta lui își vinde perdelele. El cumpără bicicleta, dar i se fură. Suntem în fața unei scriituri vizuale, a unui aparat de filmat care înregistrează un mecanism sufletesc comparabil celui întâlnit la Gogol, când acesta construiește o întreagă dramă în jurul unei anecdote neînsemnate.” - Jean Cocteau - 1949
People is a film shot behind closed doors in a workshop/house on the outskirts of Paris and features a dozen characters. It is based on an interweaving of scenes of moaning and sex. The house is the characters' common space, but the question of ownership is distended, they don't all inhabit it in the same way. As the sequences progress, we don't find the same characters but the same interdependent relationships. Through the alternation between lament and sexuality, physical and verbal communication are put on the same level. The film then deconstructs, through its repetitive structure, our relational myths.
