The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire is a post-biopic about Caribbean surrealist Suzanne Césaire, deconstructing the process of bringing an actually-lived life to film. The film examines her relationship with her husband, French politician Aimé Césaire, and famed surrealist André Breton.
Filmed on the grounds of a palm tree archive in South Florida, a small group of filmmakers and actors consider the “paradise” of historic and political memory.
Runtime: 75 minutes
