Murder, My Sweet

Taking inspiration from the film noir of the 1940s, “Murder, My Sweet” explores the complex emotions of jealousy and insecurity. These emotions stem from deep-seated fears and negative self-perceptions.

Jealousy is an emotion that is linked with a lack of self-esteem. It is often driven by a feeling of inadequacy and fear of losing something in our lives, whether it be attention, affection, or love. Jealousy can be one of the ultimate forms of self-sabotage, as we see reality through our own distorted lens.

In my story, my character Diana becomes her own worst enemy, pitted against an imaginary, more seductive, confident, and attractive woman: the one wearing an anklet.

The films noir of the 1940s reflected the disillusionment felt in the country, particularly by soldiers returning home and women losing their jobs at the end of the war. In parallel, this story also deals with the fear of losing something that is very precious to us.
