Story of My Death (DVD, Region Free)

Winner of the prestigious Golden Leopard award for Best Film at the Locarno International Film Festival in 2013, Story of My Death is a baroque reflection on pleasure and erotic desire dramatised from an imagined meeting between the ageing Casanova and Count Dracula.

Serra’s deliciously eccentric film mines history to blend the mythical with the everyday, charting the transition from the Age of Enlightenment to that of Romanticism – marking a clash between an eighteenth century of rationalism and sensuality against a nineteenth century founded upon repression and violence.

The DVD is presented from a new director-approved HD digital transfer, with 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround audio option and also features Albert Serra's exquisite 2013 short film Cuba Libre, his tribute to filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
