What a wonderful idea - a short film noir told from the point of view of the shadow.
Watch it full-screen and be prepared to watch it several times.
Gorgeous work, incredible idea, perfect implementation.

This short film is a prequel to a full feature movie script called "Dans l'ombre", written by Fabrice Mathieu. This project is looking for producers. This prequel is a research and editing work based on footages from more than sixty movies showing the most beautiful shadows in the cinema history, from "Nosferatu" to "Sin City".
