Mirror
Director of Photography
Bodybuilding is the pure narcissism. While the runner struggles against time and the weightlifter struggles with the weights, the bodybuilder only has his mirror. Exercise programs, diets and hours and hours in a training room are only the outside of an extreme discipline and eternal struggle for the ideal body. An ideal body that, to most people, seems absurd, but nonetheless has a fascinating power. Not least because most people in the western world even know about the hunt for the perfect body.
Bits & Pieces
Cinematography
At a theatre during a performance of Dangerous Liaisons, a young costume dresser is having an affair with an actor, but gets a taste of reality when the leading lady discovers her partner's infidelity.
