VANITÉ

63 views

VANITÉ is rooted in the artistic tradition of the vanitas, which questions the fragility of human life and the presence of death. The film is structured in three distinct "tableaux" (see timecode), following the inner journey of a character in crisis. Each "tableau" explores a stage of reflection, doubt, and the character’s relationship with existence, as he seek to end his own life. Here, beauty emerges from vulnerability, silence, and the suspended moment between life and its end. TIMECODE : 00:53 Tableau 1 01:29 Tableau 2 01:53 Tableau 3
