- A young woman becomes obsessed with the man who lives next door and slowly falls into madness before she commits an irreparable act.
- The magic about Poe's writing is that his employ of the unreliable narrator device leaves room for interpretation and possibility. My take on this famous short story is to go counter the standard reading of this work and put the narrator in the shoes of a young woman victim of sexual violence, whose trauma leads her to long for vengeance. This movie aims to portray madness in an experimental way, relying heavily on strong visual elements and a distortion of reality through flashes. Without dialogue but with a specifically contrasted soundscape, the story unfolds in an apparent linear manner until the cause of the narrator's madness reveals itself through a horrific scene of abuse, thus bending the time-line. Between the horror movie and the film d'auteur, my version of The Tell-Tale Heart puts the audience on a claustrophobic journey in the heart of the Gothic - a genre that is dear to me in terms of symbolism, representation, and theme - while pointing at a traumatic situation a lot of women have had to encounter at some point in their lives.
