Savage Messiah 52 years old

Every man has a dream that must be realised... a love that must come true... a life that must not stop.

Savage Messiah

The film fictionalizes the real relationship between French sculptor Henri Gaudier and Polish writer Sophie Brzeska, twenty years his senior, who came to Paris, she says, for its “creative atmosphere.”
