Patrice Kirchhofer's Anorexie 4 continues the exploration of narration and photography begun in Chandler's short story and Décembre 79. The film centers on the idea of intrusion, which permeates both its storytelling and visuals. Through voice, Anorexie 4 guides the audience through a visual and auditory experience, creating a striking and melancholic atmosphere. Décembre 79, also filmed in an abandoned mining area, emphasizes photography. The images depict chemical deposits and fossils that seem to hold traces of life, haunted by a ghostly presence. The film portrays a bleak, desolate landscape ravaged by past exploitation. As viewers journey through abandoned factories and riverbanks reminiscent of classic horror films like Vampyr and Nosferatu, they are invited to witness a hauntingly beautiful decay—an experience designed to resonate long after viewing.
