La Vie nouvelle Philippe Grandrieux
La Vie Nouvelle presents four characters in a severely depressed Sarajevo who are caught in a mysterious, deathdriven web: the feckless American Seymour (Zach Knighton), his mysterious companion (lover friend brother father ) Roscoe (Marc Barbé), the demonic Mafioso Boyan (Zsolt Nagy), and the prostituteshowgirl who is the exchangetoken in all their relationships, Mélania (Anna Mouglalis). Eric Vuillard s poetically conceived script takes us to the very heart of this darkness where sex, violence, betrayal and obsession mingle and decay. Grandrieux feels freer than ever to explore the radical extremes of film form: in his lighting and compositions and impulsive camera movements; in the bold mix of speech, noise and techno, ambient music (by the celebrated experimental group Etant Donnés); and in the framebyframe onslaught of sensations and Adrian Martin
