synopsis
Ballet sur un thème paraphrénique represents the "factastic" area of the Sandoz film portfolio – films that feature opulent and extravagant set design and unclear, almost crazy narratives, but are often based on scientific subjects, such as the results of specific research papers or studies of mental disorders. That is also the case of
Ballet. Director Éric Duvivier who created most films in the aforementioned category aimed for an audiovisual expression of the state of "paraphrenia" which is a type of schizophrenia where reality overlaps with schizophrenic hallucinations.
