Synopsis
“The video kept us together, but now that it is finished what will become of us?” ponders Greg Shephard, photog and then-boyfriend of French artist Sophie Calle as the pair document the end of their relationship in painstaking detail while they make their way from New York to California driving a Cadillac that’s in every bit the same state of ruin as their love. Dedicated to writer and activist Hervé Guibert (TO THE FRIEND WHO DID NOT SAVE MY LIFE), friend of Sophie Calle, who, in MODESTY AND SHAME, his final work, chronicles “everything that could enter into the field of experience [and become] a potential episode” in the film that was to mark the end of his life.
