“The 90s had a pretty bad start”, this is how Vincent Dieutre introduces us to the shadows of his personal universe in those years. Utrecht, Naples, Rome... Three cities and two love stories guide us through the nocturnal itinerary of a man searching for beauties past in the 90s. The first part of the “Films of Europe” cycle constitutes a geographical and sentimental trip through the shadowy art and Caravaggio. An essay, a travelogue, a documentary, a fiction film, this memoir reconstitutes by fragments a fatal journey.
