The Human Voice
Synopsis : "La Voix Humaine" (engl. The Human Voice) is an opera film adapted from Francis Poulenc's mono-opera, itself inspired by Jean Cocteau's play of the same name. The film begins with a crack of light revealing a woman, "Elle", collapsed on the floor. A sudden phone ring startles her. After a recent breakup Elle has been desperately waiting for her ex to call. As their conversation unfolds, surreal imagery mirrors Elle’s emotional journey through the stages of the separation: denial, nostalgia, anger, self-blame, and ultimately, resolution. Her ex’s responses are left to the imagination, conveyed only through her reactions and the shifting musical landscape. The fractured dialogue, distorted by a poor phone connection and dishonesty on both sides, deepens her isolation. In this telecommunicative void, the phone line becomes a lifeline and a gallows rope, connecting and separating, offering both hope and doom.
