Released in 2000, Cast is a notable film directed by Sarah Pucill, running about 17 minutes.

What it’s about. Cast creates a claustrophobic and haunting space where people and things invade worlds in which they do not normally belong. Lifeless dolls are heaped inside drawers, dolled-up life size figures lie motionless on a windy beach at the water’s edge; a chair rocks in an empty room, a mirror reflects and observes, and a chest of drawers is caressed by the sea. The film has a dramatic sensibility that sets up a false promise of narrative. Its structure, instead, is akin to that of dreams where different scenic spaces collapse and the inanimate and animate interchange. Wide-angled perspectives, shifting points of view and juxtapositions of sound and silence force inner and outer realities to collide, creating an unsettling psychic world.

Who’s in it. Cast stars Sandra Lahire as Woman, Diane Knight as Woman, Marion Knight as Child and Ella Pucill as Doll on beach, among others.
