Facade is Marković's first film after a ten-year break. The theme is political as a result of the refusal to accept a political idea to impose itself as something unified to which everyone must submit. According to the author, any unification of the world is defeatist, it is precisely the differences that make life beautiful.
BEAUTIFUL FUNERALS is a hand-painted double-step-printed film composed of 1) dense blackness variously punctuated by brilliantly colored jewel/flower-like shapes AND 2) interruptive white sections which are fuzzily dotted with blurred whites and criss-crossed by black "brushstrokes" and hard-edge straight black and white lines.
Alain Moreau's investigation into the death of his identical twin brother leads him from the beauty of the south of France to the mean streets of New York City and into the arms of his brother's beautiful girlfriend.
