Synopsis:

Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) remains one of the most influential figures in 20th century art theatre and cinema. His influence is evident in the works of such theatre luminaries as Jean Genet and Peter Brook and extends into the world of rock 'n' roll through artists like Jim Morrison and Patti Smith. This amazing collection sheds light on the enigmatic genius who penned some of theatre's most sacred texts in addition to starring in early classics of world cinema. Includes My Life and Times with Antonin Artaud (Gerard Mordillat 1993 93 mins.) a moody dramatization starring Sami Frey. The True Story of Artaud the Momo (Gerard Mordillat and Jerome Prieur 1994 170 mins.) is a groundbreaking documentary which features fascinating recollections from friends and disciples.

A major force of inspiration for artists, the multi-talented Antonin Artaud excelled in the fields of art, film, and theater. The author of THE THEATRE AND ITS DOUBLE, and the man behind the 'Theatre of Cruelty' manifesto, Artaud set a high standard for fellow and future creative minds. This two-part release contains the feature MY LIFE AND TIMES WITH ANTONIN ARTAUD, and the documentary THE TRUE STORY OF ARTAUD THE MOMO. Together, these pieces provide insight into the life and accomplishments of an artist whose influence can still be observed.
