Off with her head - 2d feature | Camelia Finley

Full length play and film. This dark comedy film explores, with satire and parody, the salacious pamphlets written about Marie Antoinette before her beheading. When a god wants to explore the human world he decides to transmute into a random body on Earth. He lands in destiny of the last year of Marie Antoinette. Taking each of the most salacious eleven propaganda illustrations from France at the time and acting them out, from bestiality and incest in the royal family to the size of her wig and embezzling millions back to Austria, one thing is made certain: the propaganda is more ludicrous than reality. Whats more, mans inhumanity to man, the place of women in society, and illicit violence can be staged here, with deathly catharsis at the end, but the viewer is invited as the only audience to see it first hand. Shot completely in an abandoned railyard, the location lends itself to a vast feeling of tragic comedy contained. There is within it the insinuation of reality vs insanity, immortality vs mortality, fantastic vs the domestic, and the comedy of existence.
