Le Seuil Du Vide (1972)
Threshold of the Void is all about an artist named Wanda Leibovitz who comes to Paris to escape heartbreak, only to find a room for rent — once kept for the dead sister of her landlord, now containing a forbidden door — that will dominate her life. Of course, Wanda is told that she can’t […]
Al Tropico del Cancro (1972)
