THE REVOLUTION AGAINST DEATH
Director: JOSHUA OPPENHEIMER
A faded rococo resort hosts a revolution against aging and death. Amid turquoise pools, gilt and chintz, fear is in the air — of illness, of invisibility, of having no one to hold or hear us, of dying alone. THE REVOLUTION AGAINST DEATH is a poem about mortality, denial, and our enduring longing for communion and love.
