[MOVIE]
F.: Henri Plaat. Prod.: Henri Plaat. 16mm. D.: 5’. Col.
The title sequence and accompanying music introduce the spectator to an atmosphere redolent of a classic Hollywood movie. The star is a young woman, dressed as a diva from the 1930s. She wears a rubber mask and performs while sitting in a red club chair, reading magazines in which the film stars of the golden age seem to come alive again. While Annette Hanshaw sings, Marlene Dietrich appears behind a mixture of eggs, cocoa powder, sugar and raisins.
