Romanian Premiere
World premiered at Locarno Film Festival 2016, the short film The River Under the Tongue takes us on an intimate journey and makes us witness (or partake in) the infringement of one’s hidden thoughts and desires. After reading his elder daughter’s diary, one mother, feeling to what extend they have drifted apart, takes her and her younger daughter for a walk in the forest. But above the scenic background, above the pictures that linger on the elder daughter’s lips, skin and nymph-like hair, floats the erotic poetry of her diary’s entries. After all our senses are engaged, the perversity of infringing on one’s intimacy is belittled by the philosophic and poetic sensuality. (Andreea Udrea, BIEFF)
