Le Départ d’Eurydice
“Le Départ d’Eurydice” (1969) is a metaphor of the time, a sort of "documentary allegory" on the 60 s and on its “underground bohemia“. In spite of its impressionist and fragmentary aspect, in a poetic and musical structure, the film includes some narrative elements. A young writer hesitates between the love for his girlfriend and the obedience to the command of the “guru” of an artistic group which requires of him, like pledge of fidelity, to kill his love partner. He executes the Death ritual in front of the sea…but in vain.
