The 24th MyFrenchShort, Meantime by Guillaume Scaillet, is free to watch worldwide on YouTube until May 26, 2025. English subtitles available. Enjoy!
Marc, a young city dweller, has moved to the countryside on his own. He's counting on the arrival of his girlfriend Louise, who is slow to join him. Marc is obsessed with the wellness routine that punctuates his days, but the silence grows ever more oppressive, and Louise still hasn't arrived. In the midst of this stressful calm, Marc gradually finds himself assailed by sounds we're used to ignoring, and then by others we're not supposed to hear.
French cinema in general, and short films in particular, also like to explore genre cinema, and Meantime is both a chilling and delightful example of this, starring Raphaël Quenard, who gives a mesmerisingly introspective performance.
