Princess of France (The)

A year after his father’s death, Victor returns to Buenos Aires and tries to rebuild the pieces of his love life, a life that he had suddenly abandoned and that perhaps he now wants to regain. In the meantime, he plans to make a radio drama about Shakespeare Love’s Labour’s Lost.

In a subtle and ironic balance between sentimentality and cerebrality, The Princess of France aims to combine solemnity and joke, supporting the thousand rivulets of the destiny of its protagonists. This transforms life, within Piñeiro’s film, into a trap of games, full of visual inventions and curious intrusions into sacred places and times (such as museums or Mendelssohn’s music) which are reworked with a savoir faire that comes directly from the French Nouvelle Vague.
