“Triste is an indication of the level of
cinema language that I have been working towards.
By delicately shifting the weight and solidity of the images,
and bringing together subject matter not ordinarily associated,
a deeper sense of impermanence and mystery can open.
The images are as much pure-energy objects as representation
of verbal understanding and the screen itself is transformed
into a ‘speaking’ character. The "sadness" referred to
in the title is more the struggle of the film itself to become
a film as such, rather than some pervasive mood.”
—Nathaniel Dorsky
