DESCRIPTION:Jean Cocteau: The Orphic Trilogy\nJuly 5–26\nJean Cocteau (1889–1963) 
 was a poet, filmmaker, artist, journalist, dramatist, and designer, as well 
 as a celebrity and provocateur. He was a creative force at the center of 
 the Parisian avant-garde from before World War I, through the surrealist 
 1920s and 30s, and beyond. His films exemplify the surrealist movement in 
 France. They are dizzy with fantasy, mythology, melodrama, and unhinged 
 experimentation. Nowhere is this more true than in his so-called Orphic 
 Trilogy—three films inspired by the figure of Orpheus, the poet and 
 musician of ancient mythology. For today’s viewer, the trilogy opens 
 doors to Cocteau’s incomparable poetic consciousness.\n\nOrphée 
 (Orpheus)\nJean Cocteau, 1949, 95 min.\nSaturdays, July 5 and 12, 2:30 
 p.m., July 26, 1 p.m.\nThursday, July 10, 7 p.m.\nThis is, without a doubt, 
 Cocteau’s best film. Orphée is clearly based on the ancient myth in 
 which Orpheus (Jean Marais) descends into the underworld to rescue his 
 wife, Eurydice (Marie Déa), from death. Cocteau’s vision of the 
 afterlife is rooted in modern realities: a bombed-out urban landscape, for 
 example, and messages from the other side communicated through a car 
 radio.\n\nTickets are available at the museum (no surcharge) or through 
 www.sfmoma.org/tickets (surcharge applies).\n\n$5 general; free for SFMOMA 
 members or with museum admission (requires a free ticket, which can be 
 picked up in the Haas Atrium). Double features: films offered on the same 
 date are included in one ticket.\n\n
