THE OPEN

Lacking financial resources but with plenty of good ideas, French fantastic cinema seems to be reinventing itself with daring and originality. In this first film by Marc Lahore, shot in the Scottish Highlands, two men and a woman cling to the idea of a Tennis Open. The world as we know it no longer seems to exist, and the survivors imagine the net and the lines of a tennis court and fantasise about a yellow ball. Their tournament can therefore be seen as a desire to survive rather than throw in the sponge. The Open, the plot of which will no doubt either frighten or convince, is an idealistic and dreamy work, almost an act of faith.
