I Wish You to Love Me, I Wish to Love You

I Wish You to Love Me, I Wish to Love You Directed by: Clara Vieiro Gingins
Produced by: Lionel Rupp, Lucas Grandjean, Nicolas Wadimoff, les films du Blaireau, Geneva University of Art and Design (HEAD)
CH 2024 17' fr/es

Elena is a foreign woman who wanders the streets of Geneva every night looking for company. The mediocrity of the men she seduces only exacerbates her murderous impulses. Until a random encounter gives her a moment of relief.

A lift, a parking lot, a tunnel… Transit points we don’t pay much attention to beyond their practicality. Through Elena’s wanderings in Geneva, the director illuminates them at night through a new perspective, imbues them with a cold and detached poetry. The only possible, non-threatening sun here is the solarium where she works. Elena’s unfulfilled longing for intimacy is the heart of this piece, where being restless and always in flux, in between (the film itself is in between Ana Lily Amirpour’s A Girl Walks Home at Night (2014) and Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession (1981)) is what keeps you alive. And alone.
