The Misfortunes of Francois Jane

2016, 96 minutes

A love triangle with a poetic flare and a tragic end.

Patrick Pearse's fictional human interest piece creates an assemblage of tableaux's, through which we explore the complexity of human archetypes through a surrealistic portrait of humanity. The film's none-linear temporal arch is driven by the aesthetic and metaphorical states of consciousness of the characters, mainly the protagonist François Jane. Jane's journey evolves through the magnificence and sumptuous backdrop of present-day Paris design and costume - leading to epiphany against the haunting, 'lost in time' backdrop of Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic.
