Selected Film
"Madly in love" is a deeply intimate, almost confessional piece, where the camera becomes a mirror of the soul. Martin—the filmmaker, narrator, and protagonist—uses cinema as an act of catharsis and a search for meaning. What begins as a simple trip with a friend, filmed without artistic intent, ends up becoming an emotional X-ray of unrequited love, identity, and the fear of being vulnerable. The documentary alternates between humor, confessions, and moments of deep melancholy. Everyday life—a shower, a banal conversation, a joke between friends—is mixed with philosophical reflections and wounds from the past. Martin opens up his private life with disarming honesty: his childhood, his sexuality, his traumas, and his pattern of falling in love with heterosexual men who cannot love him back. The presence of Jan, his friend, acts as a mirror and a trigger. The camera, which should be recording the trip, becomes a witness to an impossible love. The most powerful thing is that, without Jan knowing it, he is participating in a love story that exists only in one of the two gazes.
