Fleurs de papier

An old-school melodrama about the fragility of showbiz ambitions. A celebrated filmmaker becomes hopelessly smitten with a fledgling starlet, their passion igniting then immolating on studio sets and rain-slicked streets. It’s a lavish heartbreak wrapped in cigarette smoke and soft-focus regret.
