John Boorman Shorts: Two Nudes Bathing & I Dreamt I Woke Up

We are thrilled to welcome John Boorman's longtime cinematographer Seamus Deasy, who will present the rare screening of two short films: the delightful and witty Two Nudes Bathing (2001) and I Dreamt I Woke Up (1991).

The former, starring a very funny John Hurt, explores the origins of the anonymous Louvre painting "Two Nudes Bathing", in which two young women sit in a bath, one holding the nipple of the other between forefinger and thumb. The latter explores the home and neighbours of Boorman, and the mystical qualities of the Wicklow Mountains and their influence on Excalibur, Deliverance and Hope And Glory.
