Angels Near Death

Überblick

Angels Near Death is a dark comedy with interconnected stories that come together to form the tapestry of life, or intertwined lives, like many strings woven to create a hangman's noose. In the City of Angels, Oscar, a set dresser lost in the machinery of cinema, works tirelessly with blood, sweat, and tears until spilling his own blood transforms his life in ways he never expected. His girlfriend, Victoria, a dedicated actress who plays a sinister spirit in the horror film The Mother's Bed, blurs the line between performance and reality after work, turning their apartment into her personal haunted ground. Alice, once a novelist, leaves fiction behind to report for The Hollywood Disaster, only to discover that life itself often surpasses even the wildest stories. Her fiancé, Henry, switches from avant-garde filmmaking to nursing, convinced that while art can inspire, only hands and bandages can truly heal a human wound. Art, a photographer obsessed with capturing death through photo montage, follows his subjects to their final moments only to realize that his own passing becomes his greatest masterpiece. Cher, directing the outrageous slasher Chopsticks, in which a Chinese girl wields kung-fu against scumbags, soon discovers that the chaos on screen is spilling into the real world. Six eccentric strangers meet on body and soul in the spiritual world, where dreams go to die, embarking on an expedition to resurrect themselves and live beautiful lives again.
