GOLDEN MÉLIÈS COMPETITION
France, 2010
Night falls on a small bookshop in Paris. Whilst the shadows move in, a love story is about to begin. Among the shelves creaking with classic books, characters from their covers come back to life. Macbeth's skeleton, with the knife still stuck in his body, emerge from his lethargy. His eyes (what's left of them) find Mina Murray's. She has fallen from the cover of Stoker's Dracula and, under the surprised gaze of the Transylvanian count, she jumps from her deathbed, ready to wait for the Scot who will have to overcome thousands of dangers to be with her. Love story directed by Spike Jonze - Being John Malkovich (1999), Where the Wild Things Are (2009) and Simon Cahn based on creations from the French bag designer Olympia Le-Tan.
