THE MOVIE The Immortals - 2019 - FRENCH version VOD

The camera is at the centre of the table of a diner in the city, where the guests are the representatives of a contemporary society overwhelmed by its era. The camera films them tirelessly, in real time, describing a sequence shot which leaves them stuck, with no possibility of escape, in a series of discussions without conclusion.

They talk of their relationship with time, of social evolution and the world of art. The grotesque hides a narcissism and a deliquescence from which no one escapes. The authors thus show the tragedy inherent in the banality of our epoch.

Suddenly, the diner, caught between games of seduction and differences of opinion, is perturbed by the entrance of a new character. A young Russian woman, who has been the subject of a misunderstanding, reveals herself to the others and creates a distance. Everyone feels as if they have fallen into a trap.

Since the subject of discussion is the art world, it is more than possible that these guests represent the French spirit, which becomes a work of art.

Gérard Rancinan and Caroline Gaudriault intend to write and direct two further sequences set in two different epochs, thereby describing the human comedy through history.
