Shadows draped over figures and scenes not yet revealed – a Foreshadow of events to unfold.
As our Film Noir opens, we are greeted with the air of uncertainty. Every film noir is characterized by the air of unease and ambiguity.
Foreshadow creates the atmosphere of suspense and mystery.
We are introduced to our first character, Antihero.
The Antihero is a morally grey mobster wannabe who wants to do the right thing for all the wrong reasons, following a broken compass that only leads them astray.
They indulge in the liquors of the world to calm the monsters splayed out in shadows of decrepit alleyways and seedy speakeasies, longing to find a path to satisfy them all.
We meet the iconic force to be reckoned with, Fatale.
Inspired by the classic femme fatale, the Fatale is the quintessential character in any film noir.
Curatrix has breathed new life into this icon, transforming her into a stunning exemplification of raw power, independence and danger.
Coy enough to break hearts, cunning enough to break the law.
The Flashback enlightens us on the way things used to be – time with a lover long since lost
This is our Fatale’s and Antihero’s shared passion for one another. As our main characters reminisce over their previous life of love and luxury, the two devise a plan to return to their former glory. This walk down memory lane sparks the two to commit the crime – the crime that will finally set things right. Just one more chance to relive a fleeting past memory.
Heist, the perfect crime – if only they can get away with it.
The Heist is the center of the story, the get rich quick scheme: "If only we can get the diamonds, all our problems will melt away”. This fragrance embodies the treasure worth stealing, worth killing for – to secure a better future. Wrapped in a gold bottle, take a piece of the heist home with you, and be complicit in this crime, and in this story.
The Private Eye is the true hero in this interpretation of a Film Noir.
After our main characters commit their crime, the Private Eye is hired to find the perpetrators. Charming and cunning, they move in silence in their crisp khaki colored trench coat. Intelligent, smooth, and refined, the Private Eye upholds justice diligently and follows the law to the line.
The Fatale makes a Cold Blooded decision
The Fatale has made the final judgement to eliminate the Antihero fearing he will reveal their secrets to the Private Eye, dooming them both to a grim fate of captivity.
Valuing their freedom above their lover's life, the Fatale concocts a chilling scheme to seal Antihero’s fate.
This is the moment of no return.
A Deadly Nightcap for the final slumber
Concocting a libation mixed with betrayal, sorrow, and regret, garnished with the hope of freedom, Antihero’s final cocktail is served fresh from Fatale’s devious glass.
This lethal elixir will silence Antihero and grant Fatale the liberty they seek.
Our Antihero is laid to rest, 6 Feet Under
With Fatale’s deadly decision, The Private Eye’s case lies as cold as our Antihero.
Fatale has escaped the clutches of scrutiny and is now all the more rich for it.
At the cost of her once lover, Antihero has also found a new consequence, as he laid 6 Feet Under.
