"From self, personality, to Saint Laurent."
Narrative Synopsis
The Arrangement is the third incarnation of the international art enterprise, SELF—curated by Saint Laurent’s creative director, In this film about jealousy and romantic obsession, two young men vie for the attention of a woman whose affection seemingly swings between the suitors. “The Windmills of Your Mind,”as covered by Petula Clark, acts as both the soundtrack and narrative to this tale of alternating passions. “The windmills of your mind are the things you project onto a neutral reality when you are trapped within the throes of desire. The short movie explores this idea by juxtaposing the dreamy, elegant surroundings of the characters’ world with the reality of their emotional turmoil. “Infatuation can often make the tactile world seem fictional.
