L'AMOUR! - Lazarus
Dance Camera West
•
8m 33s
Directed by Tuixén Benet • Documentary • 2021 • 8 minutes

The famous quote by Edgar Allan Poe "the death of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world" triggers a succession of falls and recoveries that escape the poetic by trying too hard to find it.
