Death of a Man
Paris. A man moves through the city like a shadow of himself: present in body, slowly leaving in spirit. Abandoned by those he trusted and isolated in a city that no longer sees him, he drifts between memory and the present, between the life he had and the emptiness that has taken its place. Each betrayal takes another part of him, until only desperation remains, along with a faint, stubborn flicker of hope that refuses to go out.
Shot in Paris on Super 16 film, in black and white and colour, with a French cast and crew and in the French language, Death of a Man is a harrowing portrait of a man who dies internally. It is a story of loneliness, betrayal, desperation and hope. Inspired by the masters Bergman, Fassbinder and Tarkovsky, it is an intimate, unflinching meditation on what is left of a person when everything that held him up has gone.
