About the film The Marriage Of Reason And Squalor<\/em><\/h1>\n

The Marriage of Reason and Squalor<\/em> is artist Jake Chapman\u2019s feature film debut from 2015. The film is based on his own debut novel of the same name from 2008 and has previously only been shown as a miniseries on the British TV channel Sky. It has not yet been distributed internationally. The main roles are played by the well-known British actors Sophie Kennedy Clark (Philomena<\/em>, Nymphomaniac<\/em>, The Danish Girl<\/em>) and Rhys Ifans\u00a0 (Notting Hill<\/em>, Enduring Love<\/em>, Human Nature<\/em>, Harry Potter<\/em>, Snowden<\/em>).<\/p>\n

The book on which the film is based is a satire of a romantic novel. It tells the story of Chlamydia Love (Sophie Kennedy Clark), whose attractive doctor fianc\u00e9 has given her a deserted tropical island as an engagement gift. Chlamydia travels to the island to wait for him, but, once there, instead meets Helmut (Rhys Ifans): a reclusive, deformed author who exercises a strange power over her. While Chlamydia awaits the return of her beloved fianc\u00e9, she begins to question everything around her and fights desperately to distinguish what is real from what is her own fantasy.<\/p>\n

The Marriage of Reason and Squalor<\/em> is an absurd and humorous film creation that, in the depiction of Chlamydia\u2019s surreal passing between dream and reality, also showcases the visual grotesqueness so commonly associated with the Chapman Brothers. A number of the Chapman Brothers\u2019 own artworks are used as props (even some of those included in the exhibition at Magasin III!).<\/p>\n
