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\nLe Testament 
 d'Orphée (The Testament of Orpheus)\nJean Cocteau, 1959, 80 
 min.\nThursdays, July 17 and 24, 7 p.m.\nSaturdays, July 19, 2:30 p.m, and 
 July 26, 3 p.m.\nIn the film that completes the cycle, Cocteau plays an 
 18th-century poet who travels in time. This is a wry, self-deprecating 
 work, with the 70-year-old poet portraying his dreams, his friends and 
 lovers, and fictional characters. The cast includes Pablo Picasso, 
 Jean-Pierre Léaud, Jean Marais, and Yul Brynner. Cocteau’s final film is 
 an open coda to a unique career.\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
