“jean-luc rabideau”

Our hero, “jean-luc rabideau,” through her own efforts and self-determination, attempts to restore “commedia dell’arte,” tarot and myth to cinema’s periodic table of elements—and the filmmakers oblige her, with the unsolicited approval of Jean-Luc Godard’s “Breathless”—plus, there’s a birthday party! 🙂

When we started this project, it was never our intention to make a narrative film – chance determined otherwise. While we don’t have the rights to the music or Godard’s Breathless, this film wouldn’t be what it is without your artistry.
