Quotations Prélude
Karine Desbordes, storm photographer
“An ecstatic stroll among storms leading to sensitivity. When the narrative combines with the sky’s insanities, one cannot but succumb to the charm of this enchanting short movie. It is only an introduction to a bigger project we cannot wait to discover.”
Christophe Asselin, storm chaser & director of ‘The rendez-vous in tornado alley’ series
“Prélude is a cinematographic approach to the storm like we had never seen before in France. And beyond the beautiful images, the narration promises a story that is both personal and rich in meaning.”
Florent Renaut, photographer
“Without a doubt, here you are on the level of a singular cinematographic object : a poetic sketch relating to the feelings, sensations and thoughts about the stormy concept.”
Kévin Floury, weather journalist
“The images are spectacular. The director’s choice to personify a story in the midst of real thunderstorms is a daring gamble. A choice that can only appeal to the viewer’s curiosity.”
Nicolas Gascard, storm chaser
“A dreamlike gaze and journey through celestial, cosmic and electric rifts with the big questioning of who we are and where we come from when facing the storm.”
Maxime Daviron, storm photographer
“Contemplative wandering, enigmatic quest guided by lightning : Prélude invites us to cross the threshold of the storm to immerse us into its indescribable chaos.”
Alex Hermant, Storm chaser and author of the book ‘Traqueurs d’Orages’ (‘Storm Hunters’)
“Superb and melancholy parade of chiaroscuro moments for this Prelude to an existential vertigo.”
