Theodora

The Empress Who Will Not Sleep

Year
MMXXVII
Duration
142′
Language
FR / EL

Constantinople, late sixth century. The night Justinian trembles, she is the one who chooses to stay. Theodora reconstructs, in measured layers, the memory of an empress raised in the wings and grown — by voice — into the spine of an empire on the edge of collapse. The film opens with the blink of a beacon over the Sea of Marmara and closes on an edict whispered in the dark. Between the two, the image learns to keep silent so that another speech can exist.

A young freedwoman crosses Nero's Rome, from a senator's kitchens to the catacombs where a forbidden god is sung. The source novel, written by the studio's founder, serves here as a complete score: the camera follows the book the way a musician follows a bar. The studio's first feature produced alongside Humanity Books as sister house.
