Le Miroir

Ramon & Pedro (Antoine Tinguely and Laurent Fauchère) · Switzerland · Drama / Experimental · 6 min · 484K views

Directed by Laurent Fauchere, Antoine Tinguely · Starring Zacharie Destraz, Jules Martinet, Pierrick Destraz, Henri Dès · 2010

Framed entirely in a bathroom mirror, one man's whole life flashes by, from boyhood to old age, in a few minutes of morning routines, small rituals and passing years.

A seamless, seemingly single-take illusion that squeezes an entire lifetime into six minutes: witty, wistful and beautifully crafted.

Le Miroir tells the story of a man - in the sense of the human being - which passes from childhood to the status of "old man", the time to freshen up.
