The sequence is cult: a human head explodes in close-up under the impulse of an evil telepath. We will have recognized Scanners, directed by David Cronenberg in 1982. Two years later, Alexandre O. Philippe was 12 years old when he dissected the sequence on his video recorder, frame by frame, to try to understand how the magic works. This is precisely where the obsessions of this atypical filmmaker begin, including the new feature film, Lynch/Ozis presented this weekend at the Friborg International Film Festival (FIFF).
