LUTZ's Short Film Reimagines Jewelry as Internal Portal

other · 2026-07-03

LUTZ, both director and writer, has crafted a short film titled "À la folie, pas du tout," lasting 1 minute and 56 seconds, for the family-run fine jewelry label Mariana Vicintin, located in São Paulo. The complete film, including credits, is 2 minutes and 11 seconds long. It presents jewelry not merely as an accessory but as a gateway to an imaginative realm. The narrative, which combines French and English with subtitles, was developed first, inspiring the visuals to align with its lyrical flow. The title is inspired by the concluding lines of the classic French game involving petal-plucking: "un peu, beaucoup, passionnément, à la folie, pas du tout." The film navigates the emotional spectrum between "madly" and "not at all," creating a space where obsession and absence merge into a tender experience, blending reality with imagination.
