DRUNKENNESS, THE NEW FILM BY ALEXANDRE DAVID LEJUEZ

DRUNKENNESS (2021)


Drunkenness is the second feature film written and directed by Alexandre David Lejuez.
The film has the particularity of having been shot entirely on a subjective level, that is to say from the point of view of the main character of Dario.
The film was largely made in February 2020 and required some post-production time due to significant visual and sound effects.
Drunkenness is set as a psychological and experimental horror film.
As usual, the director staged a behind-the-scenes story in which the darkness of the main character is clearly brought to the fore.
The work is inspired by the aesthetic of Dario Argento's cinema in the 1970s.
The film has been available on VOD on UK Film Channel and Amazon Prime Video since June 2, 2021.
