| Orphee |
The BFI, London will screen two French films from 1950 on Thursday, 10th February 2011.
Orphée (Director: Jean Cocteau)
A variation on the classic Greek myth of Orpheus, set in post-war Paris. As the myth unfolds, Cocteau’s visually poetic style draws the audience into realms both real and imagined through his use of special effects and camera trickery.
Un Chant d’amour (Director: Jean Genet)
Writer Genet’s only film, and considered by many a masterpiece of erotic cinema. Set in a male prison, its highly sexualised atmosphere proved hugely influential on modern gay filmmakers.
