The Invader and the Origin of the World – Trailer

Original was uploaded on 2013-09-26

Directed by Nicolas Provost (Belgium, 2011). Official Selection International Film Festival Rotterdam 2012.

Provost has been a regular guest in Rotterdam since his first short film and his feature debut is a hypnotic series of big-city tableaux. An opinionated black illegal immigrant who gets washed up in the notorious first scene on a nude beach, has an affair with a rich white woman.

This trailer for 'The Invader and the Origin of the World' opens on a sunlit beach where nude figures lounge on the sand and interact near the waves. A central woman with short hair walks freely toward the ocean, her body silhouetted against the sunset. In the water, two men share a quiet moment amid gentle waves. Credits feature actors Issaka Sawadogo, Stefania Rocca, and Hannelore Lore Knuts.
