Film
The name mollusc comes from the Latin mollis, meaning “soft.” The soft bodies of these animals are unsegmented and often wholly or completely protected by a shell. Between the mantle and viscera is the mantle cavity, which contains the gills, anus and genital conduits. Mollusques, the film by Justine Pluvinage, was inspired by a true story. It is set inside a hut somewhere on the dunes of northern France, a story of mores and score-settling. A man intrudes into the peaceful life of a family and brings to the surface an unspoken tragedy, a taboo known to all. The demons of the past are roused, creating unease. What should they do with this man? In this fiction short, the artist addresses her favoured themes of trauma, secrecy, resilience, and emancipation. In Mollusques the darkness of tragedy is combined with humour and humanism, and invites us to examine our own moral precepts in the light of the behaviour of this “monster.” Philémon Vanorlé
