The Valley at Triskel Arts Centre Cork, on Tuesday 22 April. In Papa New Guinea, a bored diplomat's wife joins a group of counter-culture adventurers in their quest to find a mystical uncharted valley and herself.
THE VALLEY unfolds against the wilds of Papua New Guinea. Viviane (Bulle Ogier), a bored diplomat’s wife, is intrigued when she meets an adventurer (Michael Gothard) and his counterculture friends. Convinced to join their group, Viviane experiments with hallucinogenic substances and free love while in her pursuit of not only a mystical uncharted valley (which is obscured by clouds), but also herself. THE VALLEY features fascinating documentary footage of the tribespeople of the Mapuga, a moody soundtrack composed by Pink Floyd, and the stunning cinematography of Nester Almendros.
Screened as part of The Early Films of Barbet Schroeder season.
