Program Note
A female university student walks from the subway station to her tutoring job. There’s a camera that follows her, continuing to film her in one single take. When she arrives at the apartment, however, nobody is home. She calls the mother of the student to complain but the mother insists that she had said the family would be on vacation. After walking all the way to the apartment and sweating under the hot summer sun, the student is speechless. To fill the time before her next part-time job, she takes a walk in a nearby park. But something horrible is waiting for her there. In the film’s second story, the camera follows a young man who seems to have become involved in a bad situation. What is his story? Picture of Hell was shot in real time and without any cuts except for the title shot that divides the two stories. Such long takes create a tension derived from the character’s emotions and the situations they encounter—an interesting experiment about the unfoldment of time.
