Heaven in a Garden (2004)

"Le Ciel dans un jardin" continues the film's exploration of neighborhood life, building on its earlier melancholic tone regarding the impossibility of going back. This sense of future loss shapes the filmmaker’s observations, blending detachment with keen awareness of everyday details and memories. The film’s visual style emphasizes this, moving from intimate close-ups of simple actions – gardening, eating, smoking – to expansive shots that embrace the world as it becomes a personal, internal landscape for the filmmaker. – Emmanuel Chicon
