The cycle of Cinema in the Museum, The Illustrated Century, comes tonight to an end with the screening of "The English and the Duke," directed in 2001 by Eric Rohmer.
The film of slightly more than two hours of duration can be seen free from 21.45 hours in the garden of the Municipal Archaeological Museum Enrique Escudero de Castro.
The plot takes place in Paris, at the end of the eighteenth century.
The French Revolution ends the life of King Louis XVI.
The relationship between an English monarchist and the Duke of Orleans centers the story of this stupendous film about loyalty to ideals, the value of friendship and the struggle for liberties and other causes, lost or not.
Rohmer again offers in this work an entire recital of masterful narrative in a film with theatrical airs and with some unique exterior scenery.
Cinema in the Museum is an activity of the Culture and Heritage Area, directed by Ricardo Segado, who celebrates his second edition this year with an expanded offer focused on two different themes: 'The Century Illustrated', which ends today and has brought to the Museum Archaeological a total of six films that reflect how the cinema has treated a century as complex ideologically as the XVIII and is part of the programming of the Year of the Enlightenment that commemorates this 2017 in Cartagena;
And another more related to the Museum ", and in which the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 with the cycle 'Annus LXXIX, dying in Pompeii' will be commemorated.
