BEFORE I DISAPPEAR

Portrait

The mysterious, atmospheric film reflects various phases in a woman’s life. It begins with her wedding in black, moves onto a candle-lit dinner in a neo-classical country house, and ends with a farewell in a flowerbed on the surface of a lake. The influence of Wojciech Has, the teacher who supervised the making of the short, is unmistakable, as is likewise that of his surrealistic films.
