Sibyl (2019)
Imagination is a lie
The prologue of the story begins with the phrase that "imagination is a lie about a life". And this lie goes like a thin red line through the whole Sibyl's life. She lives from one passion to another, changes her addictions but she didn't change herself. First, she has an obsession with a young lover, then she was dependent on meeting with one her client, an unbalanced actress, then she has a romance with alcohol, and finally, she says "my life is a fiction, I can rewrite it as I need. "It looks like she cannot live in the real dimension, she constantly needs a fantasy about herself, about her own children, about patients. This movie is a cynical erotic tragicomedy about a woman who thinks she can control her life, her emotions. In fact, she slowly and inevitably destroys herself.
