F for Fake
Why this pick
A freewheeling film about art, authenticity, persona, and deception, told with daring editorial games that suit the self-conscious, performative texture of A Bigger Splash.
03
Edvard Munch
Why this pick
A formally audacious artist portrait that blurs documentary testimony and reenactment, preserving the feeling that biography can be subjective, constructed, and visually alive.
04
The Beaches of Agnès
Why this pick
Varda turns memory, art, friendship, and self-portraiture into a playful visual collage—an equally intimate but more warmly reflective experiment in filmed autobiography.
05
Caravaggio
Why this pick
Jarman’s deliberately artificial tableaux and sensual, bohemian artist milieu echo the original’s interest in how private relationships become posed images and public mythology.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
In an isolated villa on the small Italian island of Pantelleria, world-famous rock singer Marianne Lane is on holiday with her filmmaker lover Paul. She is recovering from surgery and has lost her voice, communicating only by signs and occasional whispers. He is in recovery from alcohol addiction and a suicide attempt. Neither speaks Italian but solitude is what both need, until an aeroplane from Rome brings a man neither wants to see.
