Arès
Creating Plates for Jean Patrick’s Bénès Upcoming Film
In a dystopian futuristic Paris, Arès has to fight to save his sister. Will a dangerous new drug said to provide ultimate strength be of help or will it kill him?
For this ambitious, highly anticipated film, director Jean Patrick Bénès and DOP Jérôme Alméras needed to find glam and gloom, gleaming skyscrapers and rotting communist era dwellings to paint views of a bipolar Paris. We found them in amazing Shanghai and Chongqing, climbing Pudong’s Lujiazui hard to get to rooftops, and roaming the streets of GongBei.
