Don Juan or If Don Juan Were a Woman

The events take place in a contemporary setting, reflecting the era's fashion, social mores, and media-driven scandals. The narrative moves through intimate interiors, upscale gatherings, and public confrontations, showing a world where personal exploits become public spectacle. The pace and settings evoke a modern, transnational atmosphere rather than a distant historical period.

The story unfolds across modern European settings, with key scenes in France (funeral, courtrooms, bars), a secluded mansion on an island near Sweden for the pivotal scandal, and London during the trip that tests Jeanne's boundaries. Each locale underscores a cosmopolitan, high-society milieu where reputation and desire drive the plot. The cross-border locations emphasize the characters’ mobility and the global reach of their schemes.

💋 Seduction

Jeanne uses her charm and allure to manipulate men, casting herself as a modern Don Juan. Her seductive power fuels a cycle of betrayal and power plays that drive the plot. The film explores how desire can function as a weapon, shaping relationships and reputations.

🗞️ Scandal

A planned encounter becomes a catalyst for a national scandal, showing how media sensationalism can ruin lives. Pierre's fall from grace unfolds as Jeanne orchestrates circumstances to expose his alleged indiscretions. The press and public reactions amplify personal vendettas into political storms.

🪞 Identity

Jeanne embodies a Don Juan-like fantasy of control, challenging gender norms and playing with identity. Her self-concept as the 'reincarnation' of Don Juan drives her actions and justifies her ruthlessness. The film probes how self-image and performance intersect with real consequences.
