- Synopsis
BOOK TICKETS BELOW - For one night only: Unseen for 25 years, Curzon screens this featurette
from the Oscar and BAFTA-nominated director Sir John Boorman. Starring
Sir John Hurt, this film playfully imagines the story behind a famous,
mysterious sixteenth-century painting which hangs in the Louvre. A
portrait painter, Henri (Charley Boorman) is summoned to the chateau of
a mean-spirited Comte (Hurt), who wants his daughters (Juliette Caton,
Jocelyn West) painted “as they are, in all innocence.” The film
originally screened in the Un Certain Regard competition of the 1995
Cannes Film Festival and remains one of Boorman's favourite filmmaking
experiences. Presented by Provenance Partners: David Wachs, Dan Halperin
and Scott JT Frank.
