Synopsis
Camille Henrot's 2011 documentary, Psychopompe, presents a reinterpretation of the Frankenstein myth. It connects fleeting images from various cultural and historical contexts. The film illustrates the evolution of "mythological waste" and its presence in B-movies and daily life. A live soundtrack by Joakim and his band, the Disco, features minimal, ambient, and noise music. This auditory layer enhances the visual narrative, prompting a reconsideration of the modern Promethean figure's legacy.
