That Old Dream That Moves
Alternative title: Ce vieux rêve qui bouge

Directed by Alain Guiraudie

A chronicle of the last days of a factory that is about to shut down. Among the workers forced to idle away until the end of the week, Jacques, a young technician is busy dismantling a machine while, without noticing it, turning on some of the men around him!
That Old Dream That Moves is an early Alain Guiraudie film already showing his fascination with male desire, labour and strange rural spaces. The film is loose and unconventional, but its atmosphere and quiet homoerotic tension make it an intriguing precursor to his later work.
