Сюрреализм в кинематографе Surrealism in cinema

Rating 8110

Not far from the waterfront and the Old Port is the Jean Cocteau Museum. The museum is private and photography is not allowed. The personality was very difficult - one of the "fathers" of surrealism, with unconventional hobbies, who left a very noticeable mark on culture as a writer and director. His films, the Orpheus trilogy and others, have become classics of cinema. He was especially interested in the theme of the transition to the Other World and the Return. He simulated these movements on a movie screen even before the advent of computer graphics, for example, using a bath filled with mercury. The hand of the actress who played Death, filmed by a movie camera in a horizontal position, plunged into it. When played back, this created the effect of passing through a mirror in Through the Looking Glass. The path of the poet named Orpheus (Jean Marais) to the Other World was long, the return was difficult, but Cocteau himself, having gone his way one way, failed to return.
Part of the exposition is located in the Bastion on the seashore, you can go there with a ticket to the main building for 10 euros or by purchasing a separate ticket for 3 euros.
