Critique:
As the light diffracted by a prism, life is translated by the members of a family while they are dealing with reunion and separation, birth and death, growing up as human beings, and relationships.
Prisma is a documentary about a family in a very particular time: the five months the teenage daughter, Anastasia, spent with Claudia, the pregnant wife, and Anastasia’s father, Alexis, while living abroad. All of them have cameras, their iPhones and iPods, and all have a say in the making of the film.
With very little intervention of the images and sounds, and respecting almost sacredly the sequence of actions over a period of four months (from August to December of 2014), the story will reveal what is like to be part of a family living in a different culture that some times they don’t totally understand while struggling with their own personal issues.
Somewhat inspired by films like Rouch and Morin’s Chronicle Of The Summer, McElwee’s Sherman’s March, and the many video diaries found on the internet nowadays, the main difference is not only the technology used in this film, but also who is using it. A tale told from three points of view in a raw, intimate way with almost no cutaways or even cuts that distract from what is happening.
