Journey of an object
A Collaborative collection created by iconogassed
"Films that follow a non-sentient object as it makes its way or is passed around. The idea is that the object's travel is the structure or primary thrust of the movie. Not an incidental thread, as in Pulp Fiction, or a MacGuffin, i.e. a top secret briefcase or magic sword that all the characters are clamouring to acquire.
For completist purposes, "nonhuman" may be accepted as a substitute for non-sentient, i.e. a film about a self-aware pen, but "object" is still operative, i.e. no animals. This would mean: i) Bresson's L'ARGENT, which follows, at least for a little while, some counterfeit money as it changes hands, counts. ii) Dupieux's RUBBER, which follows a murderous tire with psychic abilities, counts. iii) Bresson's AU HASARD BALTHAZAR, which follows a donkey who possess less obvious agency than the tire from RUBBER but who is more than an "object", would not count."
