Malèna is one of the films that impacted me the most, this illustration captures the moment of quiet destruction as a cigarette is lit by the men around her. Her tears reflect the emotional toll of being objectified, her beauty reduced to an object of desire, while her true self fades into the background. The piece explores the conflict between desire and self-preservation, and the silent pain of being seen as an object rather than a person.
2000 Film directed by Giuseppe Tornatore
