This melodrama, painted in the vibrant hues of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s close friend Daniel Schmid, tells a love story with operatic intensity. La Paloma (Ingrid Caven), a singer worn by illness, and her young lover, Isidore, navigate a world where the languid grace of “The Lady of the Camellias” collides with fervent passion and haunting phantasmagoria.
We thank the Embassy of Switzerland in Russia for supporting the screenings of the film Paloma.
