Floria

Roger Jacoby's Floria presents a bold interpretation of Puccini's "Tosca," using Ondine's performance as the villainous Scarpia. The film blends melodrama with a soundtrack that incorporates static and experimental textures, evoking the feeling of decayed nitrate film. Jacoby's artistic background as a painter informs his vibrant and abstract visual style, creating a compelling narrative through both figural and non-figural elements.

The film captures the emotional intensity of Floria Tosca's iconic leap to her death, repeated throughout the piece. This experimental work is a testament to Jacoby's innovative spirit, pushing the boundaries of traditional filmmaking. Collectors may appreciate the film's artistic merit and its exploration of narrative through experimental techniques.
