a i r'l r The second segment of Lord Kenneth Clark's
All Tlim T0CUS6S most cent series "Romantic Versus Classic
Art," will be shown Saturday and Sunday in the
rr rrrrrrrmrr Sheldon Film Theater.
Ul I pi UUdUdf iUu This installment deals with the work of French
classicist Jacques-Louis David, creator of such
works as ' 'The Death of Marat" and ' 'The Oath of
theHoratii."
In his commentary, Clark touches upon the uses
of art as propaganda, citing David's "Death of
Marat" as a prime example of a political painting.
Clark draws parallels between totalitarianism
and classicism, showing that the two seemingly
separate schools of thought are allied by a
common base of order and subordination.
Show times are 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, and 3
p.m. on Sunday. The films are free and open to the
public. '
'Orpheus' displays movie magic
This weekend the Sheldon Horror
Fantasy film series presents the movie
magic of "Orpheus," the famous 1949
fantasy from Jean Cocteau.
MO

Cocteau was one of the most
dominant and multi-talented French
intellectuals of the 20th century, and the
cinema was just one of the successful
delights of this novelist, playwright,
poet, painter and actor. Besides "Or
pheus", cocteaus other films "The
Blood "of a Poet", "Beauty 'and the
Beast" and "The Testament of Or
pheus", Cocteaus other films "The
cimematic trickery. They are ail deeply
personal visions, dreamlike poems of
Cocteau's world.
Film was a fascinating, creative toy to
him, and he once described his movies
as "the frontier incidents between one
world and another. A film is not a dream
that is told but one that we all dream
together."
"Orpheus" is the filmed version of
the legend that Cocteau had turned into
his first play in 1926. Despite the
captivating, fairy-tale charm of "Beauty
and the Beast", this is probably his
greatest film. It stars Jean Marais (used
by Cocteau in several of his films) as
Orpheus, and Marie Casares as the
Princess of Death who falls in love with
him. Cocteau has called the story "the
myth of imrnortalilty" as Death creates
her own downfall by saving the man she
was sent to destroy.
The film is famous for its camera
magic, including some marvelous tricks
with mirrors, and for the black,
leather-clad messengers of death riding
on their motorcycles. They were remar
kable original vision of a modern day
Apocalypse, and an image that is as
powerful today as it was 25 years ago.
