Athenée Palace Directed by Leonard Suciu
Short promotional clip of the legendary Athenée Palace, Leonard Suciu’s film plays out as a pop-infused showcase of the venue’s nocturnal temptations. Scantily clad dancers, sweaty singers, and all sorts of bacchic attractions—seasoned with a psychedelic soundtrack—recreate a Western-style atmosphere where spectators (both men and women) lounge in the cigarette-smoked chiaroscuro, while the performers lay themselves bare to indiscreet, hungry gazes in search of exotic thrills.
