Synopsis
In the Allegory of the Cave, Plato ponders: what would happen if one of the prisoners managed to free themselves from their chains and escape from the cave? What if that prisoner were Jay, a little 7-year-old boy?
Director’s statement
What lies behind the daily movement of a city? Last winter, we met in Paris and began discussing the Allegory of the Cave, as told in Plato’s Republic. The myth imagines humanity living in chains, facing the back of a cave, and watching shadows move on the walls, thinking it is reality. We both work with images, which certainly can be illusions, but can also become instruments of struggle and liberation of thought. So, from this discussion, we decided to create a short film. We had a few fixed ideas—the cave, the dance, the city bustling around us—and one question: what would happen if we all managed to turn together towards the exit of the cave? Perhaps it is not enough to assert that images are illusions as long as the chains that bind us are real.
观众对《都市寓言》的评价两极分化，一方面认为剧情离谱、演员表现惊艳，另一方面认为编剧粗制滥造、剧情不合理。
它是一部值得一看的电影，通过其故事和表现手法，让观众反思剧内向观众表达的意义和人性的复杂！
这是一部非常特别的影片，没有大开大合的剧情，没有博人眼球的类型元素，没有贯穿到底的故事脉络。像是一杯温开水，看似平淡，却喝起来十分解渴。
说真的，《都市寓言》看完后我真的是久久不能平静！因为这部影片确实带给人的震撼太大了！不论是剧情节奏，还是剧情尺度，都让人不敢相信这是法国剧的水平。
充满了各种自相矛盾的观点，以及对人性的各种颠覆解读，看一遍绝对不过瘾。你每刷一遍，都能对人性有新的认知。
