Pandore
Directed by Virgil Vernier
(2010) 36min, DCP
For this riveting piece of cinéma vérité, director Virgil Vernier placed his camera at the door of a Parisian nightclub and recorded the drama and frequent arbitrariness of being admitted or rejected by its gleefully dismissive bouncer. From its limited vantage point, Pandore paints a fascinating portrait of the city’s bustling nightlife and the power dynamics that drive it.
