Filmography

Director

Apr 18o 19637.5 / 10
La Villa Santo-Sospir
Director
Cocteau takes the viewer on a tour of a friend's villa on the French coast (a major location used in Testament of Orpheus). The house itself is heavily decorated, mostly by Cocteau (and a bit by Picasso), and we are given an extensive tour of the artwork. Cocteau also shows us several dozen paintings as well. Most cover mythological themes, of course. He also proudly shows paintings by Edouard Dermithe and Jean Marais and plays around his own home in Villefranche.
Dec 5o 19527.1 / 10
De Nuremberg à Nuremberg
Director
Frédéric Rossif and Philippe Meyer draw the terrible fresco of the Second World War of the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party until his ultimate defeat (1933-1945). While carefully describing the sequence of events, they go back to the genesis of fascism, and the picture they draw from this first half of the twentieth century is both lucid and frightening. A page of history illustrated by a large number of unpublished documents.
