STORY OF MY DEATH
Història de la meva mort
Synopsis
Casanova meets a new servant who will witness his last moments in life, from a castle with its libertine 18th century atmosphere to the poor, shadowy Northern lands. There, his rationalist way of thinking and mundane world will succumb to a violent and romantic force, represented by Count Dracula.

Our take
Story of My Death is a baroque gem of taut eroticism from the Catalan provocateur Albert Serra. Billed as “Casanova meets Dracula,” the radical minimalism of this Locarno Golden Leopard Winner re-imagines history, literature, and myth with an improvisatory and beautifully textured style.
