I Can't Go Back to Yesterday
I Can't Go Back to Yesterday is an experimental crossover music film, connected to the conceptual music album EASY ALICE. Both creations reflect on sovereignty, isolation, seclusion, schizophrenia, gender balance and the desire for detachment. It explores the meeting between the world of Kafka, Alice in Wonderland, PJ Harvey, Eminem and Nietzsche. The film script is based on several interviews with iconic figures such as David Bowie, Paolo Pasolini, Donald Trump, Prince, Grace Jones, Leonard Cohen and Roy Cohn.
