A propósito de Buenos Aires

Eleven young film-makers got together to collaborate in this atypical project. Atypical not only because of its technical specs, but because of its narrative structure. There are several scenes with only the city in common, and more as a conceptual presence at that than as a precise geography. None of those scenes contains a single "story": Each one of them is part of a larger situation that we cannot see, as though the beginning and end of each "story" had to be filled in by the audience.

Long métrage diffusé en 4 parties. « La Flor » cambriole le cinéma en six épisodes. Chaque épisode correspond à un genre cinématographique. Le premier est une série B, comme les Américains avaient l’habitude d’en faire. Le second est un mélodrame musical avec une pointe de mystère. Le troisième est un film d’espionnage. Le quatrième est une mise en abîme du cinéma. Le cinquième revisite un vieux film français. Le sixième parle de femmes captives au 19e siècle. Mon tout forme « La Flor ». Ces six épisodes, ces six genres ont un seul point commun : leurs quatre comédiennes.
