Mercury Cinema - Orphée

13 Morphett St, Adelaide CBD
Wednesday 9 October, 7pm

Orphée, the centrepiece of Jean Coctaeu’s Orphic Trilogy screens at The Mercury Cinema’s Adelaide Cinémathèque, christening their strand on surrealist cinema. Coctaeu interprets the Greek myth as a journey into the unconscious, a personal story of a poet’s own ability to tell truth, to charm, to inspire. Told through innovative in-camera trickery, the descent into hell is a remarkable trip.
