The film works with an obsessive, unlikely image, that of a love come back undamaged after seventy years of absence. A lifetime spent waiting. A love is sealed forever in the ice. The Fullness of Time (Romance) also takes a look at that ‘Eternal Return’ of the mythical lovers. Cinema makes the resurrection possible. It can circumvent time and times. Time is linear, vertical, times are mythical. The cinema, its chemistry is also the imprint of time on the artwork. An apparition. A disaggregation. That is why it was necessary to shoot on film in order to tell / experience this story.
(Manon Coubia, interview Festivalrisc)
« The Fullness of Time (Romance) is fundamentally a film about eternal love and about the endless power of cinema to get to the deepest core of human experience. »
(Ioana Florescu, BIEFF 2017)
« In Coubia’s film, time turns out to be as much a formal strategy as it is its subject, with the filmmaker cleverly using duration to ultimately make us more aware of its passage. »
