Art et Décès Glamrock city

MARIA, young Russian artist slowly loses touch with reality and enters that painful endless game whose aim is fame but will end in something else. On that road to nowhere she encounters SOPHIE who will become her muse and will provide the 'body' of her new work. Art et Décès is a film about love to the point of madness. Maria's Love of art to death when madness is confused for inspiration. Sick love of Sophie for Maria. The decadent vision of a decaying world which holds to its asserted normality with all its might, sucked from its life. People living in this world try desperately to invigorate themselves with the seeming of life, to forget that they are already dead. Paris is the theatre of this struggle for existence. Paris, capital city of dreamers, artists, lovers and crooks. City of smoke and mirrors, decoys and traps where Myths are taken for reality. Through History and Myths, Paris has always been the theatre of passionate loves and tragedies, rises and falls of grand illusions. Art & Décès adds an act to this unceasing theatre piece of blood and thunder with excess and abuse. The story of a vicious circle, from bursting love to madness, kisses to slaps and back again. A road movie on a highway to hell. From romantic bridges, splendid palaces and bucolic gardens to the narrow shady streets and decadent crowdy boulevards, there is only one step and plenty of quicksands.
