Sky Lines is a formalist film that evokes, via repetition and an extreme sound design, a death driven fear of nothingness, of the end of things. As formal sets of choreographed lines slowly dance across the screen, space and perception alter continuously and a sense of suspense and instability manifests itself. In Nadine Poulain’s film ‘Sky Lines’ the awful is not seen, but the sensational Lucifer is there nonetheless. He is waiting just around the corner for all of us. This is our anxiety; something Jacques Derrida has coined ‘Hauntology’.
