“White Title” is a romantic drama dealing with relationships in our post-modern world. Romance has changed tremendously in the last 50 years. The movie deals with today’s romance versus the old-fashioned one, along with the change in social and behavioural conceptions and conventions, the growing confusion between the sexes, the changes in role-play, for instance today a woman can make the first move.
The movie comprises two principal scenes that explain the process of love through a dialogue and a visual depiction. The movie starts with the first meeting of the two leading characters and then moves back and forth between two time frames, the present and the past. The movie is shown in a new and exciting formula for it does not focus on a defined time frame or a specific location but rather on styling of the characters and their personalities that are expressed during the dialogue.
The dialogue is pro-feminine (inspired by the T.V series Sex and the City) while the visual is pro-masculine (inspired by photographer Helmut Newton).
The leading characters are Richard, a 40 years old successful Yappy lawyer who falls in love during a cocktail party (the past) with Hennessy, a 35 years old fashion magazine editor.
Hennessy stopped believing in the existence of classic romance. She is a liberated femme fatal, a career woman, shrewd and modern. In the first scene Richard tries to win Hennessy’s heart by charming her in a James Bond’s style, but Hennessy fails to fall for his simple temptations and turns the interaction into a witty and comic conversation.
In the second scene (the present) two of the characters analyze their first meeting. They discuss the evolvement of the two sexes’ and their approach to love.
During the movie, Hennessy smokes coloured cigarettes that indicate her mode and provide a subtitle effect to the meaning of the dialogue.
