| Title 1 Description: |
Cyanide is a journey through a dreamy dark landscape, the viewer encounters many dry leaves on the floor of its path, and regularly different objects appear catching the eye: a red bone, red fragments of a puzzle falling, a doll lying, fragments of a broken mirror shining and some toy horses standing at the side of the imaginary road. There is a dance of red shoes cutting through the path, and a forest of dead vegetation being pushed away by the walker... In this dream we feel a strange danger, the dice rolling towards ourselves tells us that a game is going on, it is a journey to an unknown place, towards a feared void an experience of displacement and loss.. |

| Ttitle 2 Description: |
Reptilica is half animation half a film where real people perform. It Starts with a doll which is animated with the stop motion technique, she is searching through the many dry leaves that rest on the floor, something she has seen or felt passing by, but she can't seem to find it.
Other scenes in the movie introduce small pink worms falling on a group of ivy leaves, these are the disturbing presence that bother the doll as they sneak under the leaves, never letting themselves to be seen. These worms might be imaginary creatures belonging to the same fragmented body of the doll/woman.
The doll's actions alternate with those of a real woman, which is also searching through the leaves, and her movements at some stage of the film become frenetic: she tries to cover her body with the plants as if to operate an impossible symbiosis with nature. |
