France - French Premiere

Leçons de ténèbres
Tenebrae Lessons


Utrecht, Naples, Rome...Three cities and two love stories guide the nocturnal itinerary of a homosexual in search of lost beauty...
Between intimate diary and baroque drama, by using fragments, the film constructs a fatal voyage, placed under the sign of the Caravaggio.
Painting, sensuality, urban drifting, Tenebrae Lessons is an incandescent collage of trash 'vanitas'. A shadowy fresco defined by the director as 'a love story...A love of Art story...'.
