Paris Funeral, 1972 + Filmmaker Q&A
Unknown Pleasures is pleased to present Adam C. Briggs’ debut feature film Paris Funeral, 1972 (2021). This elegiac and ambling docu-narrative follows Rosario (Rosario Zocco), a drifter dealing with addiction, as he traverses Australia. When he meets two folk musicians the trio begin travelling across Europe in search of meaning.
Shot on stark 16mm with non-professional actors and offering a deep compassion for those left on the perimeters of society, this prescient film reveals a distinct directorial vision, prevalent in Briggs’ later works including 2024’s A Grand Mockery.DramaPT1H15MUC +182026-03-10Rosario Zocco
