If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to look into someone’s mind and hear their thoughts, Tessa Moult-Milewska gives us a look into Curiosa. When the female character opens the door into the male character’s mind, we get a close look at his inner thoughts, his passions, and his desires.
The beauty of Curiosa is that even when the characters are portrayed by people, their movements feel exclusively animated. Everything about them seems to be a cartoon, which makes the transition into the man’s mind smoother. It traps us in a world of chaos that can only be animated.
Our thoughts are always scattered, and that is represented perfectly when we see flashes of things the man likes and hear his very passionate voice talking about them. The speed of his voice shows exactly how someone talks about something they are passionate about and can ramble on about it. And it’s the difference between how he was when the date first started, afraid of showing himself.
There are two things that stand out the most. The first one is the windows, and the sofa inside the guy’s mind represents his eyes and lips, moving exactly as he does when he is remembering the previous woman he dated. The second one is the fact that the girl is looking through a window as he thinks about his ex and all the women who came before her. A representation of what it feels like to peek into someone’s thoughts.
In the end, the viewer feels like an intruder not only on the date, but also on thoughts that we were never supposed to see.
"The Femme Filmmakers Festival was conceived out of sheer human nature. Or at least, the kind of passion for a greater awareness of the female filmmakers that also reside on this planet. As Filmotomy has always striven to shine lights on the corners of the film world that simply don’t get the attention like the bigger guns do, setting up an exclusive event to celebrate these women and their movies seemed inevitable."
