Few movie and screamer director has been for me so inspired as Philippe Caland. Wink is an excellent work about a tragedy that come out from nowhere and made a great dela of damage COVID. The film as a Godard theme relationship between cinema and reality but a very American form with a classic photo by Gonzallo Digenio that work in the same suburb in wchch one saw a very good movie of 2000 the Black Dahlia of Brian Depalma but so many year after. Philippe Caland

 A wonderful and charismatic actor plays jack a rather miserable but very human film maker that is trying with his crew that he almost abuse mostely his assent Don paly by Don Wallnce. He has a complicate relationship with his wife Aries Sanders and even worst with the young lady that he manipulate Diana the beautiful Madeline Zima and even worst with his daughter from a former marriage Charley play by Charley Mae Caland. beautiful often glamours and heroic landscape of Hollywwod that felas of adventure and dream The becomes more and more and little by littler less and less heroic more normal and the rather pleasant villa in which Jack try to save his film become a trapp. One can see it in the relationship with a luxury honker Shiva play by Erin Hammond and also in the prohibition of continuing his  affair with the helper for having more and more a breakdown due to the lack of support of Jim play by agent Michael Gruskoff a legendary figure for having produce Frankenstein Junior and motely for me Werner Herzog Nosferatu. Also for the presence of some hippies like burning man type little by little we  have the materialisation of Jack older himself in the chaos of the Lebanese civil war. This is shock via footage material actually of the Syrian civile war but this is a genius like decision because the war and mostly the founding of one self don’t have many tie and the final scene is a powerful as one of the best Hollywood film of all the time “Sunrise” by Friedrich Wilhelm Munrau a Film that one as really to see and apricate
