«The Innocents» (1961)
Friday, July 1st | 23:30
Petralona Park (basketball court) | Free Entrance
Jack Clayton adapts in an amazing way Henry James’ «The Turn of the Screw» into a masterpiece with ambiance and submission, which CINEMA Magazine proclaimed as one of the best horror film of all times and which the 6th Athens Open Air Film Festival audience will enjoy in a late night screening at 23:30 in Petralona Park with the kind sponsoring of Fischer beer.
In the middle of the 19th century, a psychologically fragile governess believes that the two young children whose care she has undertaken are haunted by the ghosts of two corrupted adults.
Clayton chooses to follow the path of suggestive horror, devout ambiance, the operational use of décor and the genius ambiguous in anything that involves the motives and gestures of the characters. Clayton transforms Henry James’ «The Turn of the Screw» into a mystical work of utmost chill and gothic darkness, a true lesson of submission.
Direction: Jack Clayton
Starring: Deborah Kerr, Martin Stephens, Pamela Franklin, Michael Redgrave
Duration: 100'
The screenings of the 6th Athens Open Air Film Festival are realized with the kind support of the GNTO & www.visitgreece.gr, and are co-organized with the City of Athens Cultural, Sport and Youth Organization.
