A surreal tableau unfolds during the 1959 filming of Jean Cocteau’s "Le Testament d’Orphée" in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. The director stands beside Francine Weisweiller, who is dressed in an elaborate period costume with a parasol. At their feet, a masked Edouard Dermit kneels next to another man on all fours. Watching the scene from the ivy-covered balcony above are artists Alberto Magnelli, Pablo Picasso in a red shirt and cap, and Renato Guttuso.
