a “decadent” nightlife ;reminds me of some sketches painted by Toulouse Lautrec
Amazing! I just sent an email to the Lucca festival a few days ago trying to find info about this short. Specifically for the music. Would you by chance know the song(s) that are used? Thank you for this post!
A masterpiece! It is available on a Best of Zagreb DVD.
