Paris Window

Paris Window was the first feature film project by Amanda Kramer (although the film wasn't finished until after Ladyworld, 2018), and was made on an ultra-low budget. This hermetic chamber piece was shot in the filmmaker’s own apartment. An adult brother and sister, Julian and Sunny, live together. Their close relationship is characterised by all kinds of rituals. Sunny regularly goes out to work, but Julian remains indoors, watching weird new age infomercials. When Sunny gets into a relationship with a man who looks a lot like Julian, their relationship is put under pressure. Influenced by the TV, Julian starts to suspect a conspiracy against him.

The role of Julian/David is a clever double role for Noel David Taylor, who also co-wrote the screenplay, and Sunny is played by Sophie Kargman, who gives an incredible performance, including a fully-improvised and – seemingly fully-possessed! – dance sequence that has to be seen to be believed.
