Jeu de Paume
Synopsis
Jeu de Paume depicts a tennis match set in 1907 at the Chateau de Fontainebleau in France. Set in a five-meter long miniature reproduction of the Fontainebleau court as it stood before its renovation in 1990, the stop-motion animation employs irregular editing rhythms, shots that stray from the central gameplay, and floating, dance-like camera movements that capture, along with the players' action, the slanting angles of the architecture, the play of sunlight, and the visibility of the white ball against the dark court.
