Reclusa (Recluse)
By Regina Miranda
World Premiere - January 25th, 2021 @ Artists4Peace
Filmed during the Paris Covid 19 lockdown, and remotely directed from Brazil, we witness a woman’s isolation as she uses art to cope with this challenging moment inside her apartment, in an empty dance studio and through the ghostly streets of Paris, whose forsaken architecture becomes an amplified monument to hers and our own feelings and reflections on existential loneliness.
