Venice is empty, the protagonist walks from the grand sights and interiors into the backstreets, a figure at twilight walking the alley ways and into the dark night to meet the Devil at dawn. The film follows a path via the remnants of Romanticism and Charles Baudelaire’s The Flowers of Evil in search of beauty, opulence exotic pleasure and lovers, by Venice. It follows the bohemian idea of escapism as a form of radical resistance and as an act of sensuality in the Director’s own cinematic female gaze.
