Corpusculaire

1990 • Directed by

Yves Lafontaine

A man recalls a sexual encounter. The structure of the film is based on a mixture of refilmed scenes, restructured voices, pornographic extracts, erotic tales and whale songs. It is an essay on the representation of the male body in gay pornography which makes reference to the corpuscular theory (also called the wave theory). According to this physical theory, light is created by the discontinuity of matter and energy.
