The ROAD MOVIE
Art and Death can be considered as a road movie. There is a car, a taxi, and a route through the streets of Paris where the taxi driven in a circle without end, without real purpose.
In the road movie, the spiritual journey of the character is played by the road and it knocks down barriers to achieve the next step and stop. In Art and Death, the road leads nowhere, and people wander and get lost trying to find their way and go somewhere.
Having finally realized that they can never return home because they have no home, or to achieve their goal, because if there is no starting point, it can not exist for a destination

VIOLENCE
Violence in Art and Death is primarily symbolic. Violence of feelings, emotions. Insufficiency in the world, the inability to communicate. The tension grows to a point where people can do nothing, only the release in an explosion of physical violence. They can not express in words as they are based on non-verbal means. Destruction of self and others. Violence becomes a means of communication in the feelings and actions.

Death
If Bacon brought his subjects to a deadly destination because he was able to articulate within their death. Through art, the relationship between life and death undergoes a radical change. The reality of death does not exist in the art. In the work of Bacon in the 40's and 50's, tries in nihilism and atheism, God is dead and it is Marx. Mankind is a parody and there is no hope of redemption. The 20th century appears to be one of the worst in humanity. The art has been haunted by its heritage, and in a strange situationist paradox, photographs of massacres today can be considered as true works of art.

Love
Love is a twisted feeling, beautiful, raw and brutal. Without love you would not be alive. But love does not come without pain. In the film, love and pain play an important role in the lives of our characters. Sometimes when people meet for the first time, they are able to know they need to be together.

Director's Note
The idea for this film was just improvising on a given topic without reflection on the issues: Women rule, they are parasitized by men who want to finally do that well. The logical reaction to parasites is the death of another. Misunderstanding or need for a better world. Freedom game punctuated by a lack of resources gives the film a particular flavor, strange, errors that may pass for engineering with the help of the expected misunderstanding, and actresses who are tapping into their imagination and suggest solutions to problems that ultimately did not exist; This blurring of art, including us directors, has led us, despite ourselves, in a story where women are mistresses of their fatal destinies. The opposite would have been politically incorrect. It is therefore very fortunate that our film was completed without a script in advance.
