Where to Watch

Overview

When Danish filmmaker Lea Glob first portrayed Apolonia Sokol in 2009, she appeared to be leading a storybook life. The talented Apolonia was born in an underground theater in Paris and grew up in an artists’ community—the ultimate bohemian existence. In her 20s, she studied at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, one of the most prestigious art academies in Europe. Over the years, Lea Glob kept returning to film the charismatic Apolonia and a special bond developed between the two young women.

[IDFA '22] A portrait of the artist Apolonia Sokol that becomes an increasingly personal identification of the director with the subject of observation. It's at the same time a reflection of the vitality and frustrations of a young artist, and a reflection on how the art market is organized, creating "industrial products". But above all, it goes beyond the limits of the portrait to become almost a self-portrait.
