DIFFICULT DEATH: un petit synopsis"La mort difficile" was written in the era of Man Ray, Montparnasse, absinthe and post-war decadence in 1926 by Surrealist poet Rene Crevel. It is a portrait of such resounding examination into relationships that it was described by Crevel's contemporary Salvador Dali as "a new bombshell in the genre of confrontation".Adapted and directed by Jocelyn Marquis, "Difficult Death" is the English language version of this dark French love story which has been transposed to the timeless setting of New Orleans, Louisiana. Marquis tells the story of a woman who in the course of her art school adventures meets Arthur, a poet and transgendered composer who fled New York on a barge. Arthur lives the free and exciting life of the artist and is beyond the reproach of anyone. Perinne envies and admires the lifestyle he reveals to her, and the two quickly become lovers. Her mother, the sinister Madame Dumont, despises her union with Arthur, however, and assails her with criticism opposing her "degenerate" lifestyle. Her dilemma is underscored by her affections for Daniel, a gentle young painting student and her closest friend. While her friend Daniel would willingly spend his life with her, Perinne longs for the excitement and freedom Arthur represents. She slowly unravels, confounded by the dichotomy of love and passion, and struggles to reconsile her affection for Daniel with her intense need for Arthurs devotion.
