'Three iddle rich meet regularly to play cards. One evening, bored, they realize that playing for money had lost its attraction. Winning was not exciting enough. They decide to "spice up" the game by changing the rules : ​The loser of the next game would pay with his life'

 

Grégoire Manhes reinvents his piece as a choreographic medium-length film, retaining all the original material and playing with all the tools offered by the Cinema in order to create an atypical artwork.

​

Proposing a new way of telling a story, this choreographic medium-length film combines Dance, Music and Cinema in a completely innovative way. Devoid of dialogue, the narration of Killing Time passes through the movement, the sound and the musicality of the editing. The atypical gestures of the choreographer associated with the camera and to the sharp musicality of the performers make this film a singular artwork.

​

As a silent-film with a contemporary pantomime, Killing Time - Director's Cut is a suspenseful behind-close-door thriller that looks nothing else. With a simple but fearsome plot, Grégoire Manhes immerses the spectator in the heart of a real descent into hell.
