PLAYBOY AFTERNOON

Playboy Afternoon represents an x-ray of suspended gestures in the aftermath of our daily tremor, lazily unfolding as a sequence of celluloid frames.The main characters skid surrealistically out of an ordinary emotional wireframe, fill the void in the imaginary and then transfer our reality into a Hollywood-type mind-set, with some tongue-in-cheek classical references. In Dan Voinea’s vision, the kiss scene is recalibrated and the main characters are only capable of a self referential kind of love, caught in a hunt for alter egos. A psychological tragic comedy using surprising images that have the aftertaste of unfulfillment, of a goal which, in order to finally achieve, you may need a ‘help’ button.
