Eau de la Vie

In this dark short film debut from writer/director Simon Baré, Catherine (Kirsty Hamilton from movie Saving Grace) is taken to an opulent restaurant by two people who are more worldly-wise. The evening promises a “dance with our darkest fear” — but its amoral reality will utterly challenge Catherine (and makes grim Peter Greenaway-style irony of the film's title). Singer/composer Janet Roddick provides the soundtrack (Edith Piaf’s ‘Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien’). The film played in a run of international festivals. Its haul fo awards included a prize at the prestigious Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival in France.

You’ll love it: the food is to die for.
