Si j'étais Dieu

The film follows Lucien, a 28-year-old cabaret musician dealing with pathological shyness.

As he waits to go on stage, Lucien uses alcohol and cigarettes to calm his nerves, illustrating the tension between fear and the desire for liberation.

With a focus on personal transformation, "Si j'étais Dieu" presents a poignant look at the challenges of performing and the internal battles artists face. The performances by Swann Arlaud, Olivia Csiky Trnka, and Rinaldo Marasco add depth to this exploration of identity and courage in the face of anxiety. This film may appeal to collectors interested in contemporary cinema that examines emotional themes through character-driven storytelling.
