Comps: Double Indemnity, Promising Young Women, Anora
Synopsis: Noelle has no fixed home, no last name, no desire to stay. Just a certain je ne sais quoi, a perfect face, and an enchantingly branded energy. As she travels across the world, she collects brief but magnetic encounters with powerful men—professional athletes, artists, entrepreneurs, hedge funders—in which she tacitly markets herself as a fleeting fever dream, a glittering alternate life, a woman they will never forget.
To each, she offers this illusion of an inimitable intimacy; to some, a request for their address and a promise to write some day.
But to her, these encounters are no coincidence. Beneath the surface of her seemingly spontaneous, charmed wanderings lies a deliberate structure, a game of chess. As her former lovers begin to receive cryptic invitations to a private event, her game begins to transpire.
Stylish, shocking, and provocative, Precious Commodity is a meditation on power, wealth, love, lust, and what it means to win the game of life.
