🎥New film cycle at the Alliance Française!!
This one is interesting: France was the birthplace of Surrealistic Art and Cinema during the roaring twenties. These movies are not 'Surrealistic" according to this definition, since there were shot after the Second World War, but they have strong Surrealistic themes. These themes are dreams, the subconscious, illogical superpositions, desire and taboo. 
That's the case with this modern retelling of the Orpheus tragedy. Jean Cocteau, the director, is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Poet, musician, wirter, director, impresario, ... he decided to revisit the myth of Orpheus in a stunning black and white movie. 
It's usually credited as one of the best French movies of all time. 
And as always, there'll be pop-corn! 🍿

Synopsis: 
A scientist in a surrealist society kidnaps children to steal their dreams, hoping that they slow his aging process.

Like every week, you're free to give kohas to help the Alliance! 
And don't forget to book on the website in advance. 
See you on Wednesday !!
