THE DELAY

Turning an everyday situation into comedy
Le Retard begins with a universal habit: someone who arrives late always has an excellent excuse. The film builds its humour on the gap between the explanation given and what the situation really reveals.
The beginnings of a method
Shot on an iPhone 6 and edited in Final Cut Pro, the project belongs to Anlygne’s earliest experiments between 2016 and 2018. The short format demands a quick setup, clear characters and a conclusion built around a clear idea. That narrative discipline remains present in the longer productions that followed.
From pastime to production
Le Retard marks the point when creating gradually stops being a pastime and becomes a structured practice. The tools are modest, but the choices in pacing, framing and editing already show a desire to make stories intended to be watched and shared on digital platforms.
