Walpurgis Night

Noc Walpurgi · dir. Marcin Bortkiewicz
Poland 2015, 75’

Screenings

21 October, 20:00 · Kino Centrum

The story in the film takes place on the Walpurgis Night of 30th April 1969, in a Swiss opera house, shortly after the end of the Turandot opera by Giacomo Puccini. The great opera singer Nora Sedler leaves the stage, just as the lights go down. Robert, a twenty-something modest journalist, is waiting for her at the door of her dressing room to have an interview with the artist, as arranged. Nora, who behaves as impulsively and uncontrollably, as she was the legendary Maria Callas herself, throws him out the door, but eventually agrees for an interview. However, she plays a very subtle game with him from the very beginning, constantly drawing him closer to her and then pushing him back. The air is full of erotic tension. Cautious at first, Robert finally agrees to play this game.
