The Belly of an Architect
“Art is the food for madness.”
Drama
The American architect Kracklite arrives in Italy, supervising an exhibiton for a French architect, Boullée, famous for his oval structures. Tirelessly dedicated to the project, Kracklite's marriage quickly dissolves along with his health.
VIBE
A stark, intellectual descent into obsession and decay. It feels like being trapped in a grand, echoing structure, contemplating the fragility of the body and the ego. The film is a chilling, beautiful examination of artistic ambition meeting personal ruin.
