The Still Life Synopsis & Summary

The fine line between failure and success is as thin as the thread that separates love and tragedy, and in this tale of a self-destructive artist attempting to regain his identity after a harrowing bout with commercial success, one man finds out just how difficult it can be to built a stable future on the foundation of an uncertain past. Julian Lamont (Jason Barry) is a reclusive alcoholic who has invented a new genre of art. Inspired by his own deep-rooted self-loathing, "destructionism" allows the artist to unashamedly embrace their inner-hatred for the stranger in the mirror. Now, as Julian is compelled to take responsibility for his own actions while finally exploring the interpersonal relationships that have come to define his existence, he will finally find out what kind of artist he really wants to become. - Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
