Raymonde or the Vertical Escape by Sarah Van Den Boom
This week’s Staff Pick Premiere transports us to an idyllic cottage in the French countryside where we meet Raymonde, a lonely owl longing for human companionship. In her award winning stop-motion film, “Raymonde or the Vertical Escape,” Sarah Van Den Boom cleverly uses comedy as a means to explore themes of social acceptance, isolation, and sensuality.Inspired by the women in Van Den Boom’s family, Raymonde is an anthropomorphic owl with an expressionless face and a deep desire to be understood. Her closest companions are two small imaginary women that embody her fantasies and a friendly dog postman that becomes the object of her obsession. With its cinematic design and playful nature, the film’s characters feel both familiar and otherworldly. Raymonde may be a little owl made out of clay, but her loneliness and longing are very human.
After a celebrated festival run and nomination for “Best Animated Short Film” at the 2019 Cesar awards, “Raymonde or the Vertical Escape” is premiering exclusively on Vimeo.
