Dean Gallery In the capital, this three film (and one short) season exp ores icasso s impact on cinema. Jean Cocteau’s rarely screened 1960 free flowing film poem Le Testament d’Orphée, which features arch cameos and performances from, among others, Brigitte Bardot, Jean Pierre Léaud, Yul Brynner and Picasso himself is showing alongside an archive screening of Paul Haesaerts’ short profile Visite a Picasso. In August there will also be screenings of HG Clouzot’s definitive documentary The Mystery of Picasso and James Ivory’s underwhelming biopic, Surviving Picasso.
