Template:New unreviewed article
Sansa is a 2003 French film directed by Siegfried, starring Roschdy Zem. Siegfried also composed music for his film together with violoncellist Ivry Gitlis who play own role in the film. Original release summary: "Les aventures rocambolesques de Sansa à travers le monde" (Sansa's incredible adventures around the world).
Plot
In Sansa, artist/writer/director/producer Siegfried follows a street vagabond-wanderer (Roschdy Zem) who makes his way across France, Italy, Russia, India, Japan, Egypt, Hungary etc. using his street smarts. Sansa is charming and careless, living the bohemian life. His encounters are numerous, mostly with feminine characters, until he gets attached to an old and eccentric orchestra conductor (Ivry Gitlis) who becomes a kind of father figure.[1]
Production
Siegfried's artistic inclination and talent are omnipresent in the film. Shot in grainy digital, guerrilla-style, his film is surprisingly aesthetic. The cinematography is gorgeous and the camera moves are fluid, ample and sophisticated, making Sansa a visually ambitious work. The electro-jazzy French touch soundtrack builds the ambiance around the images, enveloping the spectator in the atmosphere, and creating a hypnotic and modernistic film.[1]
