abstract

  • Give Me a Break (Dame un respiro), directed by SS, is based on the observational documentary style (Figure 2). A typical street of an ordinary neighborhood is shown with complete detail: the washing lines on house fronts, the closed windows, the sunrise over the quiet streets, the rain hitting the ground. Nevertheless, the virtue of SSs documentary lies in the use of sound: The student established a duality between long and fixed shots and the sounds of the empty street. It becomes a symphony composed of the birds choirs, the voiceover of anonymous testimonies, and the expression of their thoughts about the pandemic.
