A man returns to his hometown. As a teenager he and some friends had shot horror films in the family house. A few images remain of these films, of his parents, of himself. The town is still the same today. The ghosts of Mamanville are there, drifting by; perhaps they will finally make their escape.<\/p>\n
Director Rizzi was inspired to make this film after an uncanny occurrence \u2013 during a visit to his hometown, he saw a teenage lookalike being persecuted in the streets. Through a juxtaposition of home movies and fictionalised scenes, he manages to exorcise a turbulent past with what he calls a \u201cdry lyricism\u201d, blending typical French provincial boredom and a more unexpected gothic atmosphere. In this hall of mirrors where real and fake experiences face each other, Back to Mamanville<\/i> delivers a deeply touching self-portrait.<\/p>\n","images":[{"ID":37583,"id":37583,"title":"BackToMamanville_Still2","filename":"BackToMamanville_Still2-scaled.jpg","filesize":316624,"url":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/BackToMamanville_Still2-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/BackToMamanville_Still2-scaled.jpg","alt":"","author":"21","description":"","caption":"","name":"65824b6c19894ac18e314b433a787634","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2024-08-29
