Notorious film critic and black widow Astrid von Star no longer finds joy in critique. She wants to create. ASTRID’S SELF PORTRAIT is a peek behind the curtain, following the process of forging her ultimate self-portrait in digital, aided by her hapless and only surviving husband.
ASTRID’S SELF PORTRAIT is a heart stopping, melodramatic, totally meta experimental feature equally inspired by French New Wave as it is daytime soap operas. If SHOWGIRLS 2 is Rena’s MULHOLLAND DRIVE, this is her INLAND EMPIRE.
