CGiii Comment

A faded icon of stage and screen prepares for the greatest performance of her life - a star-studded suicide. Peering into the dressing room mirror we watch her apply a mask of make-up and Champagne. Then, after a bottle of pills, she lies down to showcase her beautiful corpse. In her final dream she returns to the stage - but are the standing ovations and roses real, or just an illusion?
