In the City of Sylvia ( José Luis Guerín, 2007)

It's difficult to choose a short clip from a movie that consists mainly of long sequences of carefully orchestrated and edited together shots. But this clip is a good illustration of Guerín's method. In his search for the elusive Sylvia the main character observes all the women surrounding him and it's as if he's only surrounded by women, each one of them a viable candidate for Sylvia. Even the billboards are big close-ups of female faces. The stunning last shot of this clip was also used in the poster below.
