Film cycle Balthus
Cinema
- From 2 March to 6 April 2019
The museum presents a film cycle featuring a selection of films relating to Balthus and his life, including Roma (1972), directed by his friend Federico Fellini, or Les Enfants terribles (Jean-Pierre Melville, 1950), an adaptation of Jean Cocteau’s novel which is partly based on the author’s relationship with the Klossowski family.
The programme also includes titles such as Wuthering Heights (Jacques Rivette, 1985), which is visually inspired by Balthus’s illustrations produced in 1933 for that novel, and In the City of Sylvia (José Luis Guerín, 2007) which brings to life one of his paintings.
All the films will be screened with their original soundtrack and subtitles.
